95 90q no spark, wiring assistance please

[Jay M]

Interesting narrative and very nice diagnostic work Brian! Now, will you be joining us and the UrS6 with yours to S-Fest this year? Didn't make it last year due to the hurricane. If you plan to go to S-Fest we will meet somewhere off Interstate 80 and last one there buys the Brews! Deal or no deal?
