cutting out....

actually, adam...you reminded me......
when i was reconnecting everything when i put the engine back in, the ground wires for the dizzy and for the hyfire somehow got wrapped around the alternator stator wire, and were connected there.

When i went to connect the battery, i got a nice big spark, checked everything, tried to connect again, got a spark again, then investigated everything that was disconnected during removal and found the wires.....then grounded them....

and, i also realize that this has been happening since i got it all back together....when i accelerate, i have noticed the tach bobble a littleall the way through the rpm range....so i MUST have fried either the box or the optic module....
