I replaced the starter solenoid, and for the hell of it I replaced the Ford Motorsports coil with a MSD coil. The car started fine, runs fine and now I dont have to worry about having a headache next spring upon first startup. The above post does not tell the whole story...I had the car sitting for a couple days during a few rainy days. When the rain subsided, a went in the garage to check on the car and start it. I had the battery cutoff switch disconnected and when I connected the battery the car immediately started cranking...I ripped the cutoff key out of the switch and I was holding the red key in my hand and the car was still cranking over. I grabbed the key in the ignition and was holding that in my hand and the car was still cranking over. I didnt know what to do, I was spooked. I fiddled with the key and finally the car stopped cranking. I was now sitting in the drivers seat, freaked out and the silence was deafening. Looking back, it was actually pretty funny. Its good to have her back. Nothing worse than an electrical problem.

Wanted to thank Rick Parker and Roscoe for their help. If you guys read this I truly appreciate the help.
