Yeah you can tell the quality just ain’t there on that roadster, but on the touring model it’s a different story, from the hand painted pinstripes to the professional job on harness it’s just the Cadillac the gmc the Lincoln of the rocket family, what can you do

I had the same problem, see the corroded wire in the photo. The purple wire comes from the fuse box to power the tacho and speedo.

No, I'm still working on it, just took a short break to take the lady out for dinner. I'm talking to @TURBO200R4 outside of this thread, and we're trying to work through it. He's asked me to try to power the starter solenoid directly from the battery, and I'm not sure where he's wanting me to short to. If anyone could take a picture to show me that'd be greatly appreciated.

Back of the motor, underneath on the left side. Run heavy wire from + battery terminal to the terminal on the starter with the red arrow. You don’t need to ground anywhere. A short generally is when you are unintentionally making a connection to ground or another circuit.
@TURBO200R4 thanks for the help!
