I had an eventful day, here's the good

-power steering system is done
-wiring is cleaned up
-I regained power inside the cab
-most systems are wired

The stuff that didn't work well-

-my starter is freewheeling. I don't know if the solenoid isn't pushing forward or if something is weird with my bellhousing. I'm using a Lakewood bell with a 10.5 mopar flywheel. The starter is new, but sat in the garage for a few years and is unused. It's not engaging the flywheel. Is there anything special about using this sb bell with a 10.5 setup? I thought that maybe the starter would need to be moved in to touch the smaller flywheel. Is it possible that the solenoid would cease to push forward ?

-I couldn't get my ms3 box to talk to the computer. I've got a bit of trouble shooting to do with that.

I need to do the following by Saturday to get it fired:

-make starter work (will pull tomorrow)
-install new fuel tank and pump.
-make the Laptop talk to the ms3 box.

I can Fire it with open headers at that point. Let's see how tomorrow treats me!
