Finally got it started. I don't think it was what the MSD tech said it was though. I noticed that the yellow/pink wire was hot to the touch as soon as I turned the key on, so I knew there's a problem somewhere. I had installed a new Summit mini-starter & it only had 2 posts as opposed to 3 posts like the original. I asked the Summit tech guy when I purchased it & his exact words were: "just put the two wires on the one post & the battery wire on the other". I re-asked 3 times while I was there but him & another tech said that's the right way. Welllll, no it's not. After knowing the pink/yellow wires are hot to the touch, I googled a few different things & found a note on a forum that explains the yellow wire does not get connected to the 2 post Summit starter. So thank you Summit tech department for days of headache's & almost burning my car up.
So after correcting this, the car fired right up! Sweet. Then I went to shut it off & it wouldn't turn off. Great. I searched the MSD website & it said to put a 1A 100V diode on the #4 wire going to the voltage regulator. I'll try this as soon as I find a diode, Radio Shack doesn't carry this type. Ugh....
