Hey, no need to apologize.
And as long as you showed some concern for using proper terminology, here's the difference.
Carpet in your home or office gets layed, carpet in your car gets installed.

 

Some young folks just gotta think like everything is serious. Life is too short. Lighten up and have fun. Laugh a little. Archie Bunker was always messing up his words and he was a bit older than 7.

Just had an old memory recovery.
At the local Tune up Masters they had a rule. You never tell a customer their car sucks. You tell them it draws.

 

Wow Mike, he totally punked you. I like this new guy! I may have an ally in my quest to destroy you!

New Guy: Its all good. We bust each others ***** around here pretty regularly. (Usually its Mike and 350 ganging up on me! ) Pull up a chair and welcome to the club.

With all the smack going on in here, I forgot to let you all know that the car is once again running.
Not moving, but it's running now.
The previous owner installed a B&M Megashifter. I didn't think that the stock gear selector switch would have been changed out.
But it is in fact different.
So once I got that wired up correctly and fully charged the battery, it started right up.

Thanks for the help and the warm welcome to the forum.
I've been watching the forum for a while now, but never really got into participating.

By the way, I'm David. HopefullyI can figure out how to change my login name.

 

I had one of those Bowel Movement shifters in my 84. I had to wire in relays with two micro switches for it.
