Whatever!  ;-p

Okay, 
I'm not sure how many loght bulbs are in my 1984 Toyota 4Runner, however
it is Running with the transplanted 3.0L V-6 Toyota Engine!  :-)

Now the daunting task is to graft the steering column controls of the '84 
4Runner into the 1991 Toyota pickup harness. The major challenge is met.
The engine is operational again... 


Oh yeah, Did I mention that Bouncing-Betty's transplanted engine 
came to life at 6:22 pm Friday November 22?  :^)
Happy Trails,
