LOL - you know, it just didn't sound right when I typed it, but it was late. You are, of course, correct. I will make that correction.

Also, I should point out that it is not a good idea to do trouble-shooting on your vacuum system while that oil pressure line is disconnected. Meaning, DO NOT, start the vehicle with the line detached. Ask me how I know!!! It's not like I didn't know oil would start spraying out of that line - my mind just really wanted to test the vac line at the ignition (since mine isn't curently shutting off with the key). Lucky for me the mess was minimal and since I had hooked up the Mity-Vac to the vac line I was able to shut it down fast.

Clock repair??? How did you know my clock wasn't working? Unfortunately it wasn't midnight . . . more like 3 AM . . . dumb me. That looks a tad more difficult, but . . . who knows.

Thanks for catching my mistake.
