Well as it turns out, the wires weren't the issue, at least not the whole issue.
I drove the car back to work during lunch yesterday, to get some break-in miles on the gears, and it wouldn't start after work. I messed with the wiring, checking stuff for about an hour, and made no progress. By that time the battery was done, so I called the wife to bring my jump pack and some spare parts.
I had replaced this pickup just last year, so it wasn't my first thought as to being the problem, especially since I got a good ohm reading on it. But I was down to it being the only thing I hadn't tried replacing. So I pulled the distributor out and was going to replace the pickup. While I did that, my boss was leaving for home and stopped to talk to me and see if he could help, which he couldn't. Of course, being sidetracked while talking to him and working at the same time, I had a brain lapse and didn't note where the rotor was pointed. So after he left, and after replacing the pickup, I pulled #1 plug and went to find TDC. Luckily, being at work, I had the necessary tools. I had my wife stick her finger in the plug hole while I turned it over with a breaker bar. Bless her heart, she knows nothing about cars, and I could see the fear in her face, not knowing what to expect. Since I needed a laugh, I didn't tell her what to expect either. Needless to say, it was obvious when it came up on the compression stroke, as she jumped back with eyes as big as a silver dollar. We both laughed about that.....well, I did anyway.
So I got it back in, buttoned everything back up and it fired right away. I didn't have a timing light and that's when those distributor marks came in really handy. It drove back home fine, but I didn't get back till about 7:00. So I let it sit while I worked on getting the trailer hookup wired, occasionally starting it and letting it run for a bit to see if the problem would reoccur, which it didn't. I hope that was the issue, but again, only time will tell. I HATE intermittent problems because they're so darn hard to track down. Hopefully, that's the last of this.
Since the wife didn't seem interested in making me supper for some reason, I heated some leftovers up and relaxed the rest of the night.
