I purposely posted this pic upside down since this is how the switch pins will look when mounted on the column and viewed from the passenger side of the column. The white connector shell only has 4 wires, if you place the wires in the shell as marked in the pic you should be good to go. AAW shows a non-tilt switch in their diagrams so the wires are upside down and 180* out from a tilt column switch.

BINGO! I'll check when I get home today, but I can already tell you that I currently have the pink and purple wires switched.

if you have the pink and purple reversed the starter will spin with key in run position.

I flipped the purple and pink wires from their original positions...now the pink is on top and purple is on the bottom. Everything now works as it should! I primed the motor again last night and after checking all my wiring over and removing my primer I spun the motor over to check oil pressure. I was able to get oil pressure up to 40psi after a fair amount of cranking. Motor fire up is nearly upon us!

When you hear hoof beats think horses, not zebras...at least that is what they taught us in vet school. Check the easy, more common problems first, then start tearing things apart! Thanks for all the help. Hopefully the motor fires now!
