No I unfortunately didnt get a chance to do that as of yet.

Thats something I was actually thinking about doing as well. Is there an 
actual connector inside the brain that all the wiring connects to?  I havent 
opened mine up to check it out yet.

I have checked the voltage, 13.5vdc & 14.8vdc. I also replaced the plugs 
recently, and checked out their condition. 2,3 & 4 were all great looking, a 
nice tan color. #1 was not looking correct though, it w2as dark. This was 
however also when #1 was not firing correctly mainly due to the valves being 
too tight I believe. I have put new plugs in and will check them again after 
some milage is put on them. I have checked out the injector pattern on #1 
and #2, at the time #1 seemed to be causing the problem, so I havent checked 
out the spray on the other two. Vacuum and Mechanical advance seem to be 
working, I do need to verify that 100% though...along with the fuel 
pressure.
