	That is what we thought when we first looked at the plugs.  We
removed the key from the HEI plug that was preventing the plugs from
mating.  Unfortunately, we needed to look a little closer.  Both the Olds
HEI plug and the Accel ECU harness plug had the female circular pin
connectors in them.  The original Olds wiring harness plug had the male
pointy pin connectors in it.  Because of all these differences in the
plugs, we want to make sure that none of the wires were swapped around.
