My guess is that it was 1667 (I think that's right) after the ejection seat test.

It's real alright. I believe what happened (as per Coach I think) was durign a gun test the engines stalled due to lack of air and would not restart. Pilot ejected, plane took a dirt nap. Since it was during the initial DT&E, soem changes were made, including the type of ammo powder and the ignitors igniting during gun firing.

Was that before or after the Batelle muzzle deflector experiment?

So, there were more powder changes, after the muzzle changes failed? Learn something new all the time around here. :)
