update from this past weekend:
major lesson learned... always take before pics or label exactly what parts you remove!
I spent the last week trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start. I replaced a number of things including the starter/solenoid, ignition coil, spark plugs (needed to be done anyways), fuses, relays, and tons of hours reading and staring at wires and under the car figuring out what the hell was wrong. I even had my finger slammed in the door by my friend eric :evil:
Sunday morning I get under the parts car and see one ground wire that was missing from the 89. I must have removed it when I took out the power steering. 3 minutes later I have the car started... I'll be adding another ground wire (Chan's suggestion) to help prevent future starting problems and provide a stronger ground.
I'll have some pics up tomorrow.
Other accomplishments include changing the rear drum shoes on the honda, a task I wish upon no one. The pedal feel still feels a little weak after bleeding the brakes twice and I adjusted the parking brake but it still isn't holding enough.
