76 GIFT FOR MY 15 YOA

[darrenj99]

HELLO ALL MY 15 YOA SON WAS GIVEN A 1976 SPIDER CONVERTIBLE FROM OUR NEIGHBOR. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN GARAGE SINCE 1997. ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO HE LOST KEYS AND REPLACED THE IGNITION WITH A AFTERMARKET ONE. I PUSHED IT TO MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT IN A BATTERY AND CHANGED PLUGS. TRIED TO START IT AND REALIZED WIRING ON IGNITION WAS WRONG. THNX TO ALL OF THE INFORMATIVE POSTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. { I HAVE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THNX TO WESTY64 HE REALLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND} MY SON AND I HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US BUT THANX TO ALL OF YOU IT SHOULD BE PRETTY PAINLESS
