Ah, thanks busta. I dicked around today and just manually jumpered the starter and it ran. I tried seeing a signal at the transmission module on the side and neither of the purple wires had any power.

I'll dick around some more, but at least I got everything working up to the starter circuit. I can let the local shop guy that is doing my exhaust fix that if I can't get it by wednesday myself.

My next problems are:
First power steering pump my dad broke ($280 corvette one) and the second one he replaced for breaking it isn't working either.

Also, the transmission isn't pulling in fluid like it should while running so hopefully it didn't misalign and eat itself up. (didn't hear anything). Does it need to be in drive?
