He he. It's certainly true. My wiring harness has a sear mark
running from the bulkhead to where the old anti-dieseling solenoid
used to be mounted...presumeably shorted out on the P.O.
The fuses, however, survived the ordeal in fine fettle. Thank
Goodness they were saved. :-)

Don't stop talking Dan. I archive a large percentage of your well
thought-out posts for reference. Your idea of "down rating" the
original fuse sizes is intriguing. I'll hafta' look at this for the
Spit.
