    So off to try to get wiring situated. Anyone on and wanna give me a quick idea? Do i need to run a starter relay right away or can i run a jumper to the ignition straight to the starter?

    One nice thing about spending 900$ on 3 books and a blown up electrical diagram is you can actually read things without trying to see if anyone actually has 40+ year old info on the truck online
    ...

    C17SR which is the wire coming off the starter solinoid to activate it is

    C- components
    17- circuit number
    SR- starter

    Soooo now to figure out where the f that wire actually is....

    @Adisiwaya I absolutely admire what you, your family and other unwary helpers have accomplished. GREAT Memories for the kids. I still recall my Dad getting tired f the why why questions I was asking and making me sit down and pull the brakes and rear end out if a 65 Rambler Wagon. And they say girls can't do the same things the boys do HA HA.

    Boy. Had to go run to get parts earlier all my wiring equipment is in the peterbilt... the one at the shop 2 hours away. Got the starter figured out.

    ****I have to figure out a solinoid wiring**** would love some help with that

    Andrew came over again. Cranked engine over had to use breaker bar to get motor unstuck a little. Turned over amazing.

    Got the brake cans off in the rear axle, the bolt induction heaters are great tools. Makes life lot easier!

    Got fresh oil in her. Wife facial expression tells you all about the fun she's having helping me today

    But yes she runs. First time getting her to run and well she's burning carbon.

    How bad is that for the nozzles? I really don't want to drain 100 plus gallons of diesel. Figure a few filters shell be good
