First Start - Wiring
Last Sunday, I turned the key for the first time on an engine that I had never heard run because the donor was so badly damaged; nervous was not the word for it. The engine started immediately with all systems functioning and I couldn't have been happier. The reason for this thread, is to give credit to Art Cuesta for last Sunday's success. I recommend Wirediet to anyone who wants to achieve the result I did and have a great looking finished product as a bonus.

Congratulations on your first start!

I have to agree. The Wire Diet is excellent! My car started first try too and Art has been easy to work with throughout the process.
