You did a lot better on that seal than I did! I'll have to try it again some time.

If the solenoid is working on the bench, then it will also work in the truck as long as you have your wiring set up correctly.

My opinion is to use the wiring as GM and Borg Warner did, but others have found different ways to make it work. The only modifications I made was for the HEI distributor and adding a kill switch in the power wire between the fuse and the relay so I could completely shut the system down when driving around in lockout. Driving around college is a lot easier as a regular 3 speed than with the overdrive.
