It's alive! My 16V conversion, pt 2

[johncworden at verizon.net (John C. Worden)]

Well after a small, but surprising fire last night everything is fine.  But I
still couldn't get it to start without starting fluid(cause of fire in case 
you
were wondering), run smooth and continue to run without at least half 
throttle.
So today a set of new plugs because the ones in it seemed fouled and were
flakey on spark-good spark now.  No fuel from cold start valve.  After looking,
testing, swapping and putting 12V to the valve it is good and I discovered 
where
two of the connectors go that I had been searching for some time.  The plugs
were hidden in the mess under the coolant outlet at the side of the 
head.  Also
discovered the plug for the thermotime switch was on the wrong sensor. Well
now I also know where the "spare" sensor plug goes.  Hit the starter and 
the cold
start valve sprayed fine.  Ok, put everything back together and fire it 
up.  Sputtered
a couple of times and smoothed right out-No starting fluid, no touching the 
throttle.
Well a little more messing around-no blinkers and the dash indicator light 
just glows
and alt. light on continously and I should be in good shape, as I would 
like to put a
few weeks driving on this motor before heading to Cincy.
