After I bent those prongs out at 180 degrees I went ahead and took those little metal caps off the other end. You know where the threads were exposed. And then I hooked my Edge Juice right up to that. I know the directions said not to do that, but I don't care. If something goes wrong, I'll just hook it all back up right and take it to the dealer.

I'm telling ya, there are some real winners out there!!
Don't you diesel heads know anything? The problem with using so many block heaters at once is that is would produce an inverse reactive current which causes unilateral phase defractance. Basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive duractance. The original block had a baseplate of prefabulated ammulite surmounted by a malleable logarithimic casing in such a way that the two swearving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fam. The lineup consisted mainly of 6 hydo-copic marsial vains so fitted to the ambafashant lunar wingshaft so that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus –o-deltoid type place in the panandermic semi-boloid slots of the stator. Every seventh conductor being connected by a non-conductive trimi pipe to the differential dirdle spring on the up end of the graham meters. This is called the Retro-Incabulator.

Sorry for wasting all of your guys time with my obviously misdirected questions, seeing as were are talking apples and oranges here from what I can tell. Thanks anyway for all your help over the past few months..

STOP POSTING ALL THESE DO-IT-YOURSELF TIPS!!! We might get some rookie trying to rotate his headlights, deflambulize the widget convector, or even attempt to thread his sparkplugs in through the turbo - something only TRAINED TECHS should do!

If any non-certified types have gotten the bug and performed ANY of these Top Secret (DC) tricks on his CTD, do NOT start the engine - without adding one gallon of Rebuild Inna Can to the Plasma Box, and topping of the Muffler Bearing Lubrication hopper (located just south of the Zimmerstein roller) - this will save you a LOT of grief (and extend your warranty, DC adds 200K to your current mileage, Bumper-to-Bumper, 195K for trucks with serious mods)

Rotation

Also all this talk about the motor, don't forget when you rotate your tires front to back, you have to move your spare tire from the back to the front. I found no place to mount it up front so I just bolted it to the hood. Now i look like I belong in the African Safari Plain
