The ignition switch was bad. A replacement unit is $425 at Western Hemisphere. The owner and I have opted to a $16 universal replacement part.
Some relays did not do anything. I used one of them to reverse the polarity going to the starter relay.
On a D (Except for late models) the starter switch sends the ground to the starter relay. Since this switch is universal, it sends the +. The + is going to one of these green relay which in turn sends the ground to the starter relay located on the top of the battery.
I have put together the proper amount and size shims in the dampers; all spheres are now in place.
The electrical system is a real disaster. I am in the process of making new wires using a schematic.
The oil pressure sending unit gave me a lot of trouble. First i made a new wire going to the dash and then the sending unit turned out to be bad. This is an American one with an adapter. I replaced it with one from the part car.
Finally the dash is lighting up.
