Congratulations on the wiring. As to the starter, don't know how many other cars used that particular system but I do remember sitting in a 59 Buick (being used as a loaner in the late 60's) for several minutes trying to figure it out until the mechanic came over and asked if there was a problem. Never dreamed that GM ever used anything but key. As to the cool factor, it is until the car doesn't start on first or second push. After that, pushing pedal again & again gets it flooded but good. Been there-done that. A well broken in 51 I drove during HS did it to me more than once. Have seen more than one car with a well hidden pushbutton installed under the dash apparently for that very contingency.
