Thanks guys !
So what did I learn and why did I make the mistake? I'll confess in the hope it spares others similar problems.
1. Durametric is an invaluable tool for diy ! It eliminates a lot of speculation.
2. I need to print a good copy of all the electrical component locations that 78F350 posted Is it from PET ?
3. When you do a rebuild, take and annotate lots of photos and organize them. In addition label the components and mark their orientation. You may have a great memory but if life hits you in the middle of a rebuild project (my unexpected 2 year hiatus problem), you will forget the details and the writing on the labels fades,the labels fall off . The best ones are the flag type with the wire tag on them and permanent marker. Zip lock bags all marked too. This was my downfall !
4. Read everything ,bookmark and organize it. This makes it easier to help others. I have almost 1500 posts here and on R'list that are almost all answers using links I culled for my own projects - a few clicks and you can share the wisdom and experience of others . Unlike Qmuluus , I have little proprietary content to offer. Thanks Q.
5. Access - unless you have "keyboard fingers" ,skinny arms and Kevlar-arm gloves this car is hard to see/access. A powerful ,skinny Maglight is invaluable.I just wish they had a "gummy"version you can bite on. Yes, sometimes you need 2 hands and a light so the flashlight is held by your teeth! (Ignition switch r&r for example) I also used a Kobalt flex-neck flashlight with a tiny ,powerful LED bulb. For under car inspection I use a home-made Miners helmet with a powerful light on it.
An oddball suggestion I gleaned from an unrelated post by Member San Renso - remove the trunk lid and the top cover, kneel in the trunk to work on the the engine from above. It isn't as mad as it sounds if you have a lot to do there and maybe the lift struts need replacing anyway.
Hope this helps others who may follow and thank you for all the help given.
