Wayne! THE CAR RUNS!!!
I found the short!!!
Of all the stupid ways to short a wire, this has to be one of them: it had gotten caught between the intake manifold and the head and bolted tightly, making a lovely ground. Under the #3 leg of the manifold, where i couldnt see it.... had to tear the intake off to fix it.
Thank you SOOO much for all your help, and i'm still going to finish updating my wiring diagram before this game is over...You said that pic was big, it's about an 10th of the whole thing. it prints out to 36 x 36 inches... and i drew it pixel by pixel (literally)... Did the first version of the diagram in my manual before i tackled rewiring most of the car (lots of burned stuff) and as i have learned things they have been marked, so i can update. I should end up with a diagram thats big enough to read easily that is correct for that car (with all its quirks)
It RUNS!!!! :D :D :D
