in preparation of the swap i cleaned my engine bay

That resistor bank is sexy, sweet job. I'm curious if you'll be able to get the cruise control to work without any CELs - same with your resistor bank. When I tried the swap, Greg wasn't able to get around those two things. Good luck, hope it works out for you.

I'm envious. Good progress, at least you have all the parts. :D
Did you take a few thousand miles off the ODO?
