Thanks Steeveedee. I took ig sw out and disconnected from harness. Harness connector melted where purple & brown wires connect. Ordered replacement harness connector and another ig sw.

Meantime, believe I must have jacked something up when I wired starter because it wasn't frying before then. Will disconnect and ohm wires to ensure purple sol wire in ig sw is the one I connected to the S on the starter. Don't believe I need the R wire given it has an HEI, but will figure out where that one goes too.

Appreciate the help!!
