Good advice, this one has extraneous (and some burnt to a crisp) wires all over the place.

Here is my plan after the new ig sw & connector get here.
1) Verify all ig sw wires go where their supposed to.
2) Figure out where the extraneous "R" wire goes and pull it out.
3)Double the shim again (because I can't figure out how to engage the starter gear into flywheel to measure the 1/8" clearance).
4)Start it up and pray I don't burn out another ig sw and starter disengages.

Did I miss anything?
