Did a lot of test light confirming on the starter solenoid wire when turning the key, electronic ignition box, coil, ballast resistor (~9v at coil), etc... but decided I HAD to actually test/turn her over today with the RobbMC starter before installing the drivers side TTi header. The TTi instructions said the starter is captured, so the last thing i needed was to have a new header in place that captured a bad starter.
Starter fluid down the carb and a quick key turn confirmed all was good to proceed with the headers.
