Okay, I tried to type this up, but I couldn't make sense of what I typed, so I figured no one would understand it either (wtf at me 🙂 )

Referencing the lower relay - what are the red wires at 1 and 2? Where are they going or coming from?
 
Forgot to ask, are flushing the converter and trans cooler?

1 is to fuel pump #2. Location #2 is fused 12v from battery.

Currently flushing converter and cooler with mineral spirits until all metal is gone 😅😅
 
The wire with the fuse needs to be at a consistent 12v+ supply. I believe you should move it to either the 12v+ supply to either of the relays 12v+ terminal, then it will work.

Right now the relay is being activated because that wire is carrying to the ground of the 2nd pump which triggering the 2nd pump’s relay.

Can you attach a current tune? GP403 allowed the site to accept a tune and log file.
 
Progress:

TCI Shield mostly fitted; will make steel bottom straps soon:

It’s back from the dead! (Again)

New trans shifts very crisp and firm; fully manual TH400 is going to take some getting used to.

I had no idea I had to hold the trans brake button to back up! Now I know!!

I have a shimmy in the front, I think it’s from missing wheel weights:

Also picked up a spare motor to build for serious power:

Next up: get the front wheels rebalanced and a transmission catch can installed!
