[AT] Step one: Stop being an idiot

[kgw]

Quite some time ago I spent the weekend swapping the engine on about a 
1980 Ford pickup in a gravel driveway----no fun at all.  It was after 
dark Sunday evening when final connections were made, and I went to fire 
it up...nada.  Lots of nasty words, a bit of depression, & frowns.  It 
was Wednesday before I had a chance to try again in daylight---Put it in 
Drive instead of Park, and it took right off!
