here is what you are looking for.  My haynes has this very picture in it ,, but i bought mine back in 90.
our cars dont have fuse boxes,, nor do they have a fuse box cap, unless i missed something along the way with my past three cougars.  im not sure if your talking about a cougar or tbird ,

yeah i live about 20 minuted from smyrna. also my lovely hoop-t is giving me some more . i can turn it over (and over and over) but it only fires every 4 or 5 turns and it wont run. i have good compression fuel pressure and spark. the problem didnt just happen it got worse ovr time. could it be the timing belt and if so what do i have to do to change it

i would have thought cranking the car without an ecm hooked up would have changed a lot of things,,lol.

dood, seriously,, stop doing stuff like this,,
do some reading, do some tinkering, give her some love.  shot gun troubleshooting only gets you as far as your pocket is deep.

i would encourage any member of this board to step forward and produce the thread here that indicates your EEC was the fault and after replacing it, all your troubles went away.  These eec's are tanks imho.

blue spark. compression was: cyl.1-116, 2-125 3-125, 4-105, 5-129, 6-119. so i have a chain instead of a belt?
