got the coil wired up last night. need to know what i should do with the black wire coming out of the dizzy. it goes to the ignition switch...but what do i connect it to to do a test start of the car? to the S side of the solenoid??

postive side of coil to ground, black/white wire of dizzy to negative of coil and solid black of dizzy goes to the ignition wire. i'm going to be using a remote starter switch that mechanics use to jump the starter over.

got the headers bolted back up now that they are cooled down. i'm sure they will rust one day.

now working on the hardware to mount the radiator cradle.

as you can see in the pic the bottom pad has as step on it and a spot to fit the spacer.

steele rubber is not showing this bottom pad used for the radiator, they are showing a flat pad. i think this is wrong.

can someone confirm that the bottom mounting pad is as i have shown in the picture? Steele is trying to say that this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1951-1956-Packard-All-Models-Body-Mounting-Pad-Radiator-Cradle-to-Frame-/390505230982?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5aebecf286&vxp=mtr is supposed to replace the 437004 part number, but i think it should be this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-1956-Packard-Body-Mounting-Pad-/390417658898?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ae6b4b412&vxp=mtr
