Well, I've only been here a few days, and I've been very delighted to find such a helpful group of folks.

I discovered that the "canister" behind the coil (ignition) was simply part of the cruise control, and it's been removed.

I've got my shifter readjusted, goes into first extremely nicely now, and also discovered the "siren" was simply the shifter needing greased up.

I've also got all of my interior wiring fixed, and hopefully tomorrow I'll have all my exterior lights working.

I can't wait to get this thing online 100%

Thanks for everyones help!
Matthew
