wow – major milestones met on the ’69 Firebird development. Got the thing to start – with the “key”. Yeah, I know, I have had it running before – in fact my dad and I got it running the morning of my wedding. BUT, that was done using non-factory wiring – this time, I actually cranked it over using the key. Not only that, but the dome-lamp that was used in it 25 years ago, is STILL working. Sure enough, I put power to the system and when I opened the door, the light came on. Awesome!

I am feeling totally reinvigorated to get the car running again. Here’s hoping!
