Default Do We Have An Electrician In Da House???

Something weird happened today!

I try to start my car and it won't start! Then I notice all these wires that I don't know where they go. What's a man got to do?

Any ideas?




Any help would be appreciated, otherwise my car will NEVER start again!!!!!

Lick your fingers, stand in a puddle of water, and touch the red and black wires together

I would say yank it all out and start over but, it looks like you got most of it already.

BTW the car is looking good... i like the cage. Got any more pics of it?

1) Hit the Ctrl-Z key (Undo) until it is back the way it was before you messed with it.

2) Remember the Electricians Rule #1 - Sh!t rolls downhill & payday is Thursday -- wait that's for plumbers.

3) Swap in a Model T spark coil & Holley Carb. You should only need 3-4 wires with that setup. Yank the rest.

I thought I would be smart and save 8.6oz, so I could have my car down for Laguna.

I have never felt dumber in my whole life.

Slick rick, Now you have to explain what you did so you can get your car running again.
