[T3] HALLELUJAH!!!

Yo!

I went back out into the garage to check out the distributor situation again just now...turned the generator
pulley until I saw the notches on the big pulley, and they did correspond with the rotor's position at the
notch on the dizzy rim.

Looking a bit closer, I suddenly realized that the spark plug wires were in the wrong sequence (DUH!). I
swapped them around, got in the driver's seat, and the freaking engine fired right up (with a couple small
pre-emptive backfires).

OK...now here's the new scene: the engine immediately revved way up and stayed there (I didn't let it for
long). I smelled an electrical smell, and looking back, could see the generator throwing lots of sparks
inside. I do have a spare used generator.

So I have two questions, O Mighty Ones. 1) Why is the engine racing, and what can be done to stop it; and 2)
should I replace the generator, since I have another lying around?

Thanks for your help!
