[V8] YES! Gentleman's Express not misbehavin' now!

[Unka Bart]

My profuse thanks to Dave and Keith for their valuable hand-holding 
advice while I replaced the RPM and TDC sensors on the Gentleman's 
Express!

Despite having received the parts in a timely manner from 
AudiConnection (and thanks Bruce), I got myself in a time bind and 
finally did the job on the Saturday before hurricane Dennis (who 
arrived mid-afternoon, Sunday), in a (vain) effort to move the car lest 
it be lost to storm surge.  Thankfully, Dennis jogged to the east and 
we got no surge, because I couldn't get the GE to start after doing the 
replacement.

A word to those contemplating this &%$#@ job for the first time: Mark 
well one of the old connectors while it is still on the car; and mark 
one of the replacement sensors the same way.  Take a digital picture of 
the marked sensor while it is still on the car.

After you remove the pot-metal sensor holder, mark the holder so that 
you know where the new sensor goes.  Take a picture of the holder with 
the old, marked sensor in place.

Despite many warnings to be sure that I did all this, I had a brain 
fart and ended up with both old sensors removed and couldn't swear 
which belonged where.  Thus, after reassembling and finding that the 
car wouldn't start, I had to completely repeat the entire process and 
switch the sensors, reassemble and... no start.

[Tut, tut, such language from such a ummmmmm... well, you get the idea]

Decide that I had it right the first time.  Guess what.  Repeat entire 
process...

Turned out to be a dead battery.  I know, I know...

Today is the first time I got to reinstall my freshly [re]charged 
battery.  Turn key, Vrooooooom...

I am too many happy!

Thanks all who helped, and thanks to Jeremy for his pictures on the net!

Yer kindly ol' Unka Bart (vrooooom, off to the gym now...)
