A fair thought as well. I have considered a battery as well just in case.

Well, that was a $413 (including starter and ignition switch) oversight. When you grab a cable and assume it is tight without actually checking nut torque, you become an idiot. I am you...

The ground strap was loose on the chassis side as I did not torque it a second time.

Thanks for the input guys. I also paid for a ton of research as I learned a bit about the additional issues with the ignition and I learned how to get rid of the clutch safety switch. Cheers.
