I thought you all might like to know the latest regarding my thread of Nov 6th. I made a call to the President of the local Oldsmobile club who directed me to a person who might know of someone who could check it out. He highly recommended Tony Serritella of Tonys Rocket Garage in Phoenix so I had it towed directly there. All of your responses were spot on and he only needed to replace three wires in the harness. He not only did a great job replacing them he also did a beautiful job restoring the look of the original harness. Tony can be reached through his website at tonysrocketgarage.com
Great guy, great service and a true Oldsmobile fanatic.

 

Glad it worked out without major damage - coulda been soooo much worse!
Polish that horseshoe!

 

Glad it worked out for ya! Happy cruising!!
