Ha! OG, you are probably right!! Actually that's why I labeled most of the wires, even I can't remember what some of them are for.

I am also going to need a few permanent "cheat sheets" posted under the hood and in the "cockpit" to get the "pre-flight" procedures all done and in the correct order before takeoff!!!

According to the MPGuino I did 86 MPG going into the shop this morning (temp of 41 degrees), then it started raining and with a northeast headwind I was only able to do 79 MPG coming home (temp 47 degrees). I guess even with these mods I will still be subject to the variable winter weather. But there is no way I would have gotten close to these numbers without the pre-heat and alternator delete. I had to use the headlights both ways.
