Well, last night I had it cranking but it sounded terrible. I had no idea why, so I just let it be since I was tired.

Today I went back and turned it over by hand a few times just to make sure the engine was smooth and intact, which it is. Then I went ahead and replaced the battery ground since it sucked, filled up the transmission with MTF, which was a pain, and some other junk. Now the starter only makes this little whiny or super clicky noise and doesn't turn the engine over. Thinking the battery might've died I have it going charging right now.

Some strange stuff:
- Last night when I was clunking the engine over I could've sworn I heard relays going nuts, I wonder if something might be blown out.
- If I hold the key in start position for like 10 seconds some of my indoor wiring starts smoking. I couldn't figure out what, just that it's coming from the massive wiring ball I've got going. Even after smoking it a bit a few times to try to track it down I couldn't find the source or any charred wires.

Needless to say, it's not been a good day so far.

However, I would like to take this time to say thanks to Ty for his awesome help the other day
