I know, from the 79 degrees AC to 15 minutes in the garage I had to ring out my shirt...  The computer hasn't been fired up in about a year, lucky for me... It is an old Pentium II with Windows 95 but it is the only thing that will run the Mitchel program....

Thanks for trying Zieg maybe it will cool down, See if the earlist year ignition switch plug wiring is there if possible. Maybe it is the same. These didn't change much.

I got to be close, I got it working but the idiot light for the brakes stays on when the key is in the off position. It does have a bad break line. Just trying to get the electrical straightened out first. It was a 400.00 step van with only 60,000 miles so I could not pass it up.

A running, moving storage shed for $400??? Wow wish I could run across one.  I will go back later this evening and try it again.  I wish I had a printer to work with that machine but it is too old.  I guess I am lucky it still starts up...

Yea it was a good deal!! I plan to fix it up alittle and use it for my construction business. It runs like a top and shifts great(4 Speed) just needs breaks/tires and the usual tlc.
