I finally have my engine in the car and ran the new wire harnesses I bought from Classic Industries. I ran a fusable link from the positive terminal to the wire on the alternator. The interior has power now. I have the positive cable connected to the large post on the starter solenoid. I HAD the purple wire (from the harness) connected to the small post on the right (if you are looking at the front of the engine). When I turned the key it seemed like it was spinning the alternator. I could see the wires flinch when I turned the key. I switched the purple wire to the other post and get nothing when I turn the key. My wife isn't home yet, so I'm not exactly sure the starter isn't running and just not engaging the flywheel. I'm not sure what else to try. I have looked at other threads and get a little confused as to what others have done.
If I had the purple wire in the right place, at the beginning, what would be causing the starter to not engage the flywheel? I am getting tired of all these stupid little things that keep popping up.
