So I haven't touched this old truck in a long time. I did put up a carport to keep it under this year. It killed me to see it sit outside under a huge oak tree.

Then came the task of getting it there since I didn't even start it for nearly a year. I freshened up the charge in the battery... jumped in and nothing. No click of the EEC relay... no fuel pump relay. Without going into full details... there were two faults. Poor connection at the EEC relay. I had the key ON and when pulling on the EEC relay connector... both EEC and fuel pump relays clicked. The second was with splice s124. This ground splice goes to two terminals on the ECM and ground for the EEC relay. A wire wrapped around the splice and Goober soldered that made no real connection to the splice... then run to the RH lamps ground bolt... which it should be on the engine. Maybe three issues... there was no ground wire directly to the body from the negative battery post. So I straightened things up... turn key... two clicks and a fuel pump hummmmm.
Still not running like a top but good enough to get it around the block and out my back door in its new home.

Sadly it's gonna sit while I ready the O-Possum for a 8 day adventure.
