/\ Shit... my sister just messed up my dad's truck in a simmilar way... took all the teeth off the flywheel and the starter... guess who has to fix the damn thing now?

I'm glad you finally got the car sorted, more or less. It's amazing, but even with a build like this, people still run into irratating snags along the way, like how I'm doing right now with my build!

yeah, I made some asshole comment like it sounds exactely like what his teeth would sound like crushing against a steel pipe if he ever did that again.

My MoTeC guy and I had an interesting conversation about the toggle when we were trying to troublshoot why the damn thing would never turn off when I first wired it. I tried to explain why I liked having it, to pressure check it, to prime it, to let the engine turn over for a few seconds without the pump going to get a little heat in the plugs etc etc etc. He had an answer for everything - cycle the key three times, input a negative value in the relay (although the output for the FP also activates the IGN as well so that wouldn't work) He had no easy solution to the depressurizing though. Over the winter I'm going to move the toggle to the rear of the car under an aircraft style saftey switch. Harder to get at, which isn't a bad thing. I'd hate to see the damn thing accidentaly flipped while driving. That could easily chip a seal or at worst pop an engine. Although Dave whitnesses a 13B race car pop a fuel pump fuse on the dyno at full boost. He described the noises it made, I cringed, he said they fixed the short and the thing fired right up and ran fine. No damage. Pretty much the story that sold me on the RA Super Seals.

OUCH! How does that happen in a car with a key'ed ignition? Every time one of my dumbass brothers does something like that, I'm always the one that has to fix it as well...

The little things never seem to end. I still have a short list of things that I want to fix as well. Oh well. Projects like ours are never done. It's a fact that I've come to accept.
