Hi:

	I'm doing a little R&R on #5171 and have a question.
On the black lead coming "out of" the Amp-meter, the wiring
diagram shows this wire connected to 4 pink wires.  This wire
connects to 4 pink wires and the main alternator wire according
to the diagram.  My question is where is the location of
these connections.   Thanks a lot.

P.S.
	To the person who asked about the two piece valves
and the "special stock keepers":

The cam size wasn't stock, but something from Crane.  Springs
appeared stock, but didn't measure them.  Didn't bother
to measure the cam when the rest of the motor was scrap.  Peak
RPM's was somewhere around 5700 (that I'd taken the motor too), but
it failed at around 4000 on a gentle shift into 4th.  The keepers didn't
fail, but the two piece valve came apart.   Most of the people on the
fordnatics list who play with Clevelands will tell you to change the
valves to the one piece designs.  Why waste another motor/block combo?
Think of changing (the valves) as insurance!  You pay for insurance against
an accident with your car.  Why not do the same for your motor?  :)

P.P.S

	Thank you Curt T. for describing how you shift your car and
what effect that has on your 0-60 times!  This list is awesome for
its information.
