..maybe? So....just for future reference...the driveshaft did NOT fall off the diff...it slid back far enough to go past the splined portion of the diff shaft. I found this out AFTER dropping the engine back down to "fix" it. Anywho...got it bolted back up, dumped new oil in it, and tried to fire it up before complete reassembly. I did manage to get a fire started on some rags. As usual, I managed to get the damn ignition rotor back on 180° out...AGAIN. Since I've managed to do that 3..4 times now, I learned the last time the easiest way to correct that is to simply swap the wiring on the ignition coils...not the plug wires, but the actual wiring to the +/- part of the coils. Much quicker than doing anything else. After that, I hit the start button, annnnd....EUREEKA! Fired right up no problem. I called it quits for the day. I'll try my best to get it all put back together next weekend, tho there is another issue I need to ponder. More on that later.
