A second Service Socket 700 1991

Hi Andy,

I guess it's not well known, but can be handy for crankingthe engine over from under the hood—like for compression testing.

Just jumper +12V from the battery, preferably via a push-button switch, to the service socket. It goes to the solenoid ignition switch terminal, but not directly — the neutral safety switch (auto tranny) is still in the circuit.
