Well, the carb hasnt been used in almost 15 years, so that's my main concern.

Aside from that the truck has sat for quite a while before i got it and who knows what could fail, i've only put maybe ten miles on it.

Your lights are especially easy to wire up to the runners, that's how i've always done it on my monteros. You'll need a bosch relay and you use 4 of the 5 pins.

here's a rough wiring diagram



personally I put relay ground (86) to the chassis and ground wires from the fogs also the the chassis, then use the 'switch' vampire clipped into any of the power wires for the running lights, I'll usually splice in about 1 inch back from the runner light socket, that way if i ever have an issue i can fix it easily. If you're in mesa just bring it over to my place and i'll help you sort it out.
