If it's any comfort, Bud, I once spent two days standing in the snow trying
to get a TR3 started after committing a similar faux pas.  Borrowed the
dizzy cap & wires from my Dad's TR3 without noticing that it was wired 180
degrees from the one I was working on.  Found the problem days later, after
towing the non-running car some 40 miles on the end of a rope (and about
freezing to death from the sub-zero air blowing through the floor boards)
... put the original cap & wires back on & it fired right up.  My face was
red from more than cold !

Promptly got impounded for being driven without the proper registration ...
