Starter safety switch was working... it would disengage if shifted "too far" into park. But when you click it back just a little to park, it worked just fine.
So, after looking around the shop for some good plastic, I decided to make the solenoid isolators. Ran the ground via the safety switch to the solenoid frame, and all works well.
I did a complete rewire, and knowing what was going on with the oil press wire out of the left side squared that away. Now its all wired in an working fine. Put a delco alt on it, wired in a acc,off,on,start switch and good to go. New wires everywhere except the tie to the starter saftey and press switch since I didnt really want to tear into stuff not having manuals yet. So Just soldered and heat shrinked the new wire to them. Saved the OE wiring harness in case some day someone wants it for collectors reasons.
Fixed the fuel shut off valve and all the little things. Tune up... and so on.
Fired it up ran like a top. Shut it down to test the start safety, (after testing with the ohm meter) - worked great. Bumped er back into park, and gave a little bump to make sure it would still crank... and I bet the engine didnt make 1/4 revolution (I just bumped, and I mean slilght bump of the starter) and it fired up. I was impressed there.
Need some new gauges, but they should be coming shortly. And a new seat pan. But shy of that... after having sat for probably 15 years, its probably not but a day or so away from getting some toddle around time to look for running/operating issues.
