I put it into gear and it dies.

ok so after the whole day of cleaning up the bulkhead contacts, I have reduced ever so slightly the resistance and I have found the point of the most resistance.

after i did some poking around, I figured out that at the igniton switch connector before the column, blue tr. wire (J2) had 11.63v. Then at the interior side of the bulkhead it had 11.53v. on the engine side of the bulkhead the blue tr. wire had 10.6v. So even after the cleaning of the bulkhead, it is still knocking the voltage down .97v.
crap.
I am thinking of bypassing that connection and just connecting the wires together through an open hole in the bulkhead.
