Guess what...Gene's blew it again. They couldn't get the engine RPM to surge like I told them it was doing - I even wrote out a clear description of the symptoms and how to re-create the "condition". Turns out the service advisor forgot to tell the "tech" that there was detailed info behind the RO in the plastic sleeve. This just re-confirms that no-one over there could find their @$$ with 2 hands and a map.
I'm going there tomorrow morning having been promised I could personally take the "tech" for a test ride.

Now the brake lights aren't working. I jumped the wires together and the lights work. I put an ohm-meter on the pressure switch and it reads when I press the pedal. Plug the 2 back together and nothing. I quick tour of some hotrodder forums and it sounds like the overall quality of pressure switches has gone WAY down over the years and there's lots of guys with button or lever switches on the pedal and blown pressure switches serving only to plug thier own hole. My best guess is that the switch is blown in such a way as to read across the terminals but not allow enough current through to work the lights. A new switch will be located and a bracket fabbed up tomorrow to work off the pedal.
