Hear me roar!

Apparently the tweaks to the voltage regulator wiring were enough to correct the electrical problem.  A jump from my wife's car, a little gas from the throttle, and here's the result:

What a relief!  All the work to this point has been done in complete faith that some way, somehow, the darned machine would work.  But aside from a few individual assemblies there's been no way to test any of it.  These V4 engines are relatively simple, but there are still a lot of parts, pieces and assemblies required to make that noise!

And what a great noise, too!  I've never understood the appeal of a loud exhaust until this moment!  I almost hate to put the mufflers back on.
