Cheers all!

Following the procedure for setting valves using the ramps.

It's up, the driver's wheel is off, plugs are out, e-brake is off, and I can't get the driver's wheel to turn. I've tried 1st and 3rd gear. Neutral it all rotates freely.

WTF am I missing?

Guys guys guys.....Why make it harder???

Just hook the remote starter button to either pin II or IV on the 4 pin connector on the relay board. They are both in the starter circuit. So you don't even have to climb under the car to hook it up.

Yes. I have been doing that for years. The ignition switch on Betty's car broke on an out of town autocross and it wouldn't crank. I went to FLAPS and bought a starter button, some wire, a spade terminal and a loop terminal. I wired the start button up, hooked the spade terminal to the connector on the relay board and the loop terminal to the battery. Then I duct taped the button to the air cleaner snorkel. Every time we had to start the car, I had to open the engine lid and push the button. She got all her runs in and we were able to get home.

So it works.
