Tony (and All):

A "relay mod" as in "modification" or "module" or what? What relay? The ignition switch
still appears to work other than that it no longer engages the solenoid.

I don't have any electrical diagnosis equipment, and honestly, that's something I'd much
rather leave to someone else...someone who will warranty the work. I have a long and
scar-ridden history of messing with electricity.

The PO said he burned out a couple starters trying to get the car in running order. Any
idea what would do that more than once?

Thanks, y'all,
Carmody

PS: About the tin under the engine...I guess the lack of them explains how several of my
pushrod tubes got dented.
