Bought another one...... this ones a '85

I replaced the NSS and it fixed the jumper wire situation. Now, no jumper wire and it starts fine by key in Park and Neutral as it should.

So.....
  1. No smok'n or any wires getting hot (replaced engine harness and ignition switch harness) :)
  2. Starts by key - no jumper wires needed. (NSS fixed this) :)
  3. Last thing is to figure out why it overcharges. :( 17.3 when it should around 13 or so. I've replaced voltage regulator, alternator, engine wiring harness, and battery with known working components.
