Mmm, this crow tastes good... People are having so much fun with dead DeLo's on the side of the road I decided tonight to see what all the excitement was about (actually #5939 decided for me). Fortunately happened within a mile of so of house, where tools and instruments were. Quickly zeroed in on fuel pump. PO bypassed inertia switch in favor of a permanent ground. Have no idea where he made connection, but wherever it was, it isn't now. Question then becomes: where to run a temporary ground on a plastic car? Didn't want to lay around on wet pavement looking for a frame bolt. Decided to run into passenger compartment seat belt bolt, where I could at least keep an eye on it... Lessons learned: 1) Never trust a PO any further than he or she can be thrown 2) Add a spool of wire to the jumpers carried in glove compartment 3) When your car does put you walking, don't freak out -- every effect has a cause 4) Always keep a spare Ford at the house BTW: if anyone's keeping score, my angle drive repair is still working 57 miles later...
