Thanks, I was going to do that but I hit 'Send' too quickly. Certainly
don't want to advocate a hijacking in light of recent events! (Hat tip

I'll have to look for that connector. The '89 wiring has been torn
out... but I bet I'd find it in the 94 wiring. I'll look in my FSM
too, next time I'm in it.

I'll take you up on that at the next BBQ I get to. It might not be
this year... I still have to decide on and execute a plan to fix my
cooling problems.
I'm surprised we haven't put our 'verts together for a little photo
shoot or something. In fact, I don't think I've seen any more than the
outside of yours. [Digressing further,] it's funny to hear people try
telling me how many convertibles were made... I don't know where their
numbers come from. My GF ran into someone yesterday who recognized my
truck. The desktop picture on her laptop shows my truck at the 08 BBQ.
He tells her "I've seen that truck! I've wanted to buy it for years!"
Then he starts telling her how they only made 10 of them blah blah
blah. She wasn't familiar enough with them to set him straight, but
she did tell him it wasn't for sale :-D
