For your starting problem, have you tried switching to a starter relay (on the firewall) for a manual trans car? I think the main difference is that one terminal is grounded on the manual trans relay & it's grounded through the trans with the auto trans relay. Not sure, maybe you accomplished the same thing when you bypassed the relay.

I will have to check that out but I think you are right because the NSW from the 904 connected to the starter relay and was a tan wire as noted on the wiring diagram. I will have to see about getting a manual starter relay. There is a NSW on my 5spd-tranny tail shaft and will have to figure out the wiring for it. Keisler was not much help in that department.

It`s finally taking shape and looking good. The radiator core support is huge on your car ,it looks like you could have gone with a much larger (wider) radiator? The dash looks good all chrome plated.

I could have gone wider but I wanted it to fit the stock holes in the core support, I didn't have to drill at all. I would have needed to move the horns and the overflow can would have been tougher to mount. I thought the same thing once I got it in there. I'm still thinking about a shroud possibility with this radiator if it becomes necessary for cooling.
