    I know, right? I can't stand that level of craftsmanship. There's no excuse for that.

    And for now, this motor's staying put, provided it doesn't complain. I'll be rebuilding a new 12A for it down the road (I've got one in boxes in my closet) after I get some suspension and brake work done.

    So for the first time, this car has a running engine. Between a million different obligations, I managed to find time to get the car running. Once I got a good starter in it and double-checked all the ignition wiring and timing, it lit off. Still got a leak in the intake manifold I need to make a block-off plate for tomorrow, and it should be idling safely.

    The trailing ignitor is dead, though, so I'm researching whether I want to just replace it with a stock unit, upgrade to a 2nd-gen coil, DLIDFIS, or what. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
