Valve Lash Adjustment: running or not?

[TDW]

The other thing that consumed time for me was getting the bump-switch hooked up. It's difficult to reach the S terminal on the solenoid on a hot engine without getting burned, which I did. I'm considering some type of temporary, very well insulated, lead I could install while cold

I installed a small plastic block on the firewall of my Nova just for that purpose. It is an original GM part, but I don't remember what it was from. Basically, just a block with 2 studs and a mounting ear. I ran a #10 wire from the starter to one stud, the other stud is where I hook one of the leads on the remote button. The other lead on the remote just hooks to the Pos side of the battery. Works great.
