Day 3 - Engine bay time!

Cleaned out the inside of the car and found a lot of new parts for it, for this moment I am working on the engine and tranny.  Had to buy : New starter for a 84 Mustang, plugs, plug wires, solenoid switch, new battery connectors, fuel line, fittings for fuel pump, fuel filter.  The wiring looks good so far in the engine compartment except for the solenoid, had two wires with shorts in them.  They came fused from Ford but..... just for a quick fix I cut the fuse out and straight wired them to the solenoid.  I have not figured out why the key won't turn the engine over but I did get the engine to turn over at the solenoid.  I can't start it because I am still waiting on the fuel tank (75.00 on Ebay) and the sending unit (18.00 on Ebay) to arrive in the mail.  So far everything is looking good, the engine turns over easy.
