[W126 Coupe] Gearbox wiring help really, really needed please!

[Ian Gatenby]

Thanks guys - that's great - along with Vance's and Malcolm's comments - it
looks like I can get the old CDs working without dragging an old PC back
into the house. 

Just as a matter of interest - I switched to individual mail list downloads
rather than the daily digest and these two responses (and only these two)
went to that place that I don't check (you know - where my multiple millions
of dollars worth of lottery wins go every day).  Blowed if I can figure out
how some of these PC rules work!

Thanks again for the help.

Ian

Since you are using the 500 ignition and fuel systems, the early 500 EZL 
won't have that functionality for the transmission quickshift will it?

Also, you'll have a hole on the bell housing for the CPS - may need to block

that off as the early 500 ignition system does not have that there.
