Done and dusted. No parts or tools required. It's your car, your time, your money.

When you mentioned a BB before, do you use the right size to plug the vacuum line so that it doesn't even look at first glance to be disabled? I mean plug it then reattach it.
But to the question of not knowing where to put the three different colored wires in the jack, was all much ado about nothing. As the donor car was not going to be used again, he just cut most all of the wires. I mentioned it to him today, he agreed it could be a small difficulty - we went to look at the 'new' motor and there was the jack, still attached to the IP, with about 8 inches of wire sticking out. Not sure if he will just use crimp connections to hook the wires to those on the car. The method I would think better would be to use the old method of wrapping two wires with a bit of wire strap, about a quarter wide, crimping it in place then soldering, followed by sliding the preplaced shrink fitting over the joint and heating it. That way you could solder them in-line and then use the shrink insuator.
