So, after all that my problem was my three month old Powermaster starter took a dump. I tend to over look the new parts being faulty when troubleshooting.

Try '85 and later. '85 shows the same switch in the wiring diagrams as '86.
'85 & '86 have several unusual features.
'84 and prior have the neutral safety switch in the diagrams.

That's why I asked. My 85 was a floor shift 4 speed so none of this applied to it.
