The two wires to the starter from the harness (one yellow, one purple) were wrapped in insulated tape and the insulated tape was kinda' cooked from being close to the exhaust manifold. I pulled the wires up top and peeled the baked insulating tape off and both the yellow and the purple solenoid wires seem fine underneath. The pigtail from the Positive battery cable to the junction on the radiator support seems fine too. Very perplexing.

I'll troubleshoot it some more on Tuesday. I'm a do-do when it comes to electrical bugaboos so I feel like Stevie Wonder as I go along. Thanks guys for the help so far and thanks budnate for the phone call earlier!

Back at it.
