Guys, I had kindof the same trouble with my '77. Had to replace alot of blown relays and sensors to get it to go, using the FSM as a guide. The real sticker though was the FI relay, up under the driver's side dash. That was causing the most trouble. Just thought I'd mention it, and give a little simpathy because I too one thought of driving my car into a large body of water. Good luck, LeeZ
