That would certainly make a HUGE difference! ;-)

The FI cables are generally of different lengths, to make their 
destinations clear, but once someone gets them mixed up it can quite 
hard to spot the mistake. Testing with the Bosch tester would pick it 
up right away, but otherwise it's pretty hard.

BTW, I've got your '73 FI AT distributor rebuild finished, and your 
check arrived today. I'll try to get it to the Post Office on Monday.

thanks,
