:lol: !! So, somebody besides me remembers the iconic Gilda Radner!

Lincolnrat, I don't have a '61, but I have enough experience in automotive neurosurgery to offer tips. If reinstallation is the daunting task, I say start with the connections that obviously mate together; not just the plugs themselves, but the colors of the wires as well. Anything left over that you can't obviously connect, consult the schematics of the shop manual. They may take more than a minute to study and understand, but they will eventually show you what you need to know. And once done, you'll have such satisfaction that you won't have nightmares about it. :wink:

Well, that's good. Progress to any extent is good, especially if it means progress on the worst or hardest detail of the job.
