well i know i don't have a m40 cable and a m41 box so that makes it a little less likely that it snapped that way, (but then what do i know, weirder thing have happened that stuff breaking because of stuff you don't have). the guy i saw today used to own her 4 years and 3 owners ago, and he told us that, "everything, but the temp gauge worked" when he owned her. but she moved to humbolt and then back to the sf bay area since. (I'm not sure about the after market temp gauge in there either, but thats a different post.) so under i go tomorrow. hope its just disconnected somewhere.
