I was able to get a few hours to play this weekend.
Battery is only making 10.6v and 200cca with a full charge. My grounding strap was pretty gunked up. My buddy replaced his colum with an Ididit and was nice enough to give me his V8 switch.
I cleaned and reinstalled the starter ground strap, ordered an engine ground strap and a correct battery to firewall negative battery lead.
I will work on heat shield and eliminating the start button after I get the grounds straight.
Thanks again all
