I did that actually. It worked, but I had a bad connection or something. It spun it, sparked, then i pulled the wire. After that it wouldn't do it again, maybe I fried the new relay. No wires looked burn, so i'll try again tomorrow.

All the wire diagrams say that the center wire from the NSS (brown and yellow stripe) connects directly to the starter relay. I know that is not how it was prior. But then again, I was using a slant six wire harness for the the 318. Not sure if there is a difference.

I guess ill fiddle around a little more, but what are your thoughts on cutting the middle wire off from its existing clip and wiring it directly to the Relay as the diagram shows it.

Currently, all three wires off the NSS are on one mini wire harness that runs from the NSS to the bulk head.
