---Great news, Its running and I should start driving it tomorrow as soon as I get the hood back on and do some adjustments. It was something stupid on my part, the wires were one off. The car has tons of power compared to when i purchased it a month and a half ago since the emisions was completely elimanited. Thankyou all for your advice and help to get this matter straightned out. I look foward to driving it again.

My 360, upon rebuild 3 years ago, did just this same thing. I had not lubed the cam properly (my fault) and spun four cam lobes.
