Ignore that last post. I repositioned the ignition switch on the column. I now have power to the yellow cable.

So, building off that last post, I pushed the new neutral safety switch clockwise all the way it would go. It now engages the starter! Placing the wires back in the safety tube and gonna try and fire it up.

It fired up after a few tries, and now driving it! Feels good!

See what happens when you progress methodically using logic versus frantically firing the parts cannon?  Well done!   ;)

Just, make sure the engine doesn't crank in any gear positions other than Park and Neutral.  Adjust the neutral safety switch accordingly.

With a tilt column, make sure the engine cranks and shuts off at up and down tilt extremes.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
