Brake conversion

[sukchew at suddenlink.net (sukchew@suddenlink.net)]

I tapped into the Ign. wire at the coil That was the closest place to the 
relay box.It also needs to be powered when the engine is cranking and the 
coil is the most logical place to pick up the voltage because the coil is 
powered while cranking.
  Yeah life gets in the way.All of my projects have been put on slow. Sue 
had foot surgery in Oct. So I have been the house husband until just 
recently. I have the bug mostly finished .At least I'm able to drive it.I'm 
finally able to go full speed on the brake conversion.I also have taken the 
front suspension and steering out for a general inspection and 
rejuvenation.There steering rack was a real Bitch but I finally got it out.
 Sue has made plans to attend Cincy this year so I think we will plan a 
little Vacation around Cincy.I still haven't figured out what I'm going to 
do about the Brisket.If some one Has a smoker I may just show up a little 
early and cook at Cincy,Which I would really like to do and make it apart of 
the Cincy Experience.Yah know we have got to be a bunuch of sick M fer's.
