It won't start
Ok I have finally got the fuel system bug fixed and it is getting 35-40 psi at the rails now.
Now a different gremlin has shown his ugly head and I'm at a loss. So please help if you can.
When I turn the key I get Nothing!! All the lights work, the fuel pump engages, battery indicator says 11-12 amps and when I have it connected to a jump vehicle it's at 15 amps.
In the recent past ( last 2 months ) I have checked or replaced....
Starter
Starter solenoid
EEC relay
Ignition switch
Key switch
positive cable
Negative cable
Battery
The negative cable inline fuses
When I connect the one with two cables the fuel pumps pressurize.
I get no sound when I connect the single line fuse.
????????? I'm at a loss.

With lights and fuel pumps running, you are getting something. Are you saying the starter doesn't engage so the engine won't crank over? If you have the solenoid on the fender, put power to the red/blu stripe wire. Does the engine crank?

Hmmm, sounds like everything's hooked up right. Could be the switch in the column needs adjustment? Make sure the solenoid on the fender is hooked up right. (red/blu striped wire I think) Also possible you have a bad starter or solenoid so try feeding power direct to the starter for a second to see if that works. And sure, check the fuseable links too.
