Mike,
I am not sure if I understand you but on my car the ground side of the battery goes to the chassis just above the battery. The hot side goes to the starter.

Yes. Too many of them.

Kevin, great shot.

I was thinking the battery cable to the starter was a ground instead pf power. I had the car on the lift and I was underneath it and just not even thinking. As Paul said, it was a long day. When Rob posted I finally woke up and realized that it was a hot wire and not a ground. If I'd lowered the lift and looked at the battery end of the cable I would have realized that before posting this thread. Even though I have a Ford relay attached to the starter, at that point there was really only one place it (the cable) could go on the starter.

I got it started last night around 8:30, but it will need some tuning today. I put thinner manifold gaskets on it so I had to shorten the linkage rod too. I still need to replace my front shift rod and get the rear shift rod installed also. At the moment I can't find neutral (which is really stupid I know), but this is an unknown transaxle (swapped out the worn 2nd synchro unit for this one).

did you leave the rear shift rod out prior to installing the engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

also, i don't understand the probs you guys are have with the intake studs. phenolic gasket, cb tall, flat washer, cv joint locking washer, nut. it all fits. the one pictured isn't torquered down yet. what's the deal?

Of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm shifting it at the shift console on the transaxle. I got and verified first, and reverse, but neutral is nowhere to be found.
