yeah, it's bypassed. it's running directly off the starter solenoid , i remembered since we didn't do anything with the stock wires after we dropped the engine back in. only had 4 total wires coming out of the firewall and those are all hooked back to themselves to bypass all that jazz.

i'll run that 'test' tomorrow and pull the plugs agand and check the rings, i should be perfect i'm guessing.
