well worked on the demon some more today,hooked up all the kickdown linkage throttle cable and checked over everything in the wiring and double checked all the nuts and bolts and fluids and fired it up and broke in the new cam and lifters and all went well till it was time to bring it back down to an idle,I had to shut it off and cover the carb because it puked out of the radiator everywhere,needs a thermostat,got that done and changed the oil gave her a bath and took er for a ride,all was good till I tested the kickdown linkage,I mashed it to the floor and saw the shifter handle move forward and got off the gas,it went to reverse and shut down the engine,nuthing hurt so went back to the shop and back up on the stands...the shifter linkage was bent upward into the kickdown linkage,streightened that and all good now,tested out good too,then started chasing down all the lighting in the car seeing what does/ does not work,fixed tag light dome light map light brake lights blinkers and all checked out with a few new bulbs turned on the headlights,high and low all good but no front marker or parking lightschanged h light switch,nuthing pulled instrument panel and found yellow with black tracer to h light switch had been cut hooked it back up and dead short to ground,took all tape carefully off of the complete harness and found nothing wrong,retaped it all neatly back.then moved under the hood again to take a second look found the culprit,the wires in front of the radiator support were pinched byt the bolt that holds the horns on,repaired the pinched wires and good to go!!!now all I need to finish it up is to replace a few intrument panel ligh bulbs and sockets and put the dash pad column and cluster back in.
