Hey Mark,

forget Ed - he is hopelessly lost in doing everything backwards - or should 
I say "plugs-up!!"
People told him countless times that it wouldn't work - he just doesn't 
listen!
However he did mention he never told his engine that it was "pu" now and 
can't work!
Maybe he did the same with the gauges!

TJ :))
