glad you got if fixed, I'm glad I was able to help. As for paypal... make a donation to the shbox website, that will be enough gratitude for me. without that site, it would have been a lot harder to explain things.

I could never have figured that out without your help and shbox's site. I'm making a $50 donation to his site then, it's not the first time it's helped me fix something. Thanks again!!!

That is a tremendously gracious gesture. Thanks for all of your help in this thread and on the site. I'm sure I'll be referring to it as I relocate my battery to the back.

As much as I like it back there for weight distribution I have had nothing but problems with it back there. Its killing the fuel pump relay when it doesnt start up and I get the 'electric clatter' noise, and its not even a daily driver. If I drove it every day I'd be changing them out every month Im sure. Plus I have the car for sale now, I dont want any issues like this when someone comes to look at the car, it would be much cleaner to just put it back up front.

If mine was mainly a track only car I would definitely keep the battery in the back for the weight transfer. With a TH400 I would imagine your 97 is mainly a track car. It's a good idea in that case. For a street car that sees ocassional track use I would advise anyone against it. If I had it to do over again I would just go with a light weight battery up front. Just wanted to add this for anyone looking to move theirs.
