For those interested, here is the log from my sons c-900 resurrection. I have had the time of my life getting this $200 jewel up and running like new. I bought it in a non running state in December of last year, diddnt know why till I got it home and discoverd the plug wires were in the wrong order. It also had crapo plug wires and a corrosion problem with the ignition module connector that caused a stall problem, and teh timing was VERY retarded. ANYWAY, here is a list of what has been done. AL tolled, including the price of the car, I have MAYBE $700 in it. Check it out and REJOICE with me for my son's good fortune. We have done all the work together. Bought all the parts from site sponsors.
