Wired up toggle sw, with wires off of ignition sw. Than hooked starter up to a push button sw, and hooked vacuum shutoff lines to a needle valve. Car starts, glow plug relay is working, lights work, gauges work, only thing not working is blower motor, will look into that later.

Removed EGR setup, now tranni is shifting really soft, luckily tranni setup looks a lot like the tranni in the 83. Have learned a little about this style tranni in the last week!!

Did diesel purge, what little I have driven car it seems to have about 30% more power than the tired engine in my 78 CD. Would really like to fix the 81 but body is just in to bad of shape, and a little rust showing on bottom of floor pan.
