O.K.. I don't know if this fixed the problem but just for trouble shooting purposes, I ran to AutoZone and picked up an ignition switch for 67 GM cars that had the same switch positions and the pins...
Thanks Ray.. This thing is a headache because I know it's something stupid!.. Is there a difference between 64 & 65 switches? Maybe I have a 65 switch with a 64 tumbler? Ugh, corvette pushbutton here...
I plugged them in for the picture but they were unplugged for the test.. With them unplugged I touched the purple plug to its connection spot and the starter turned..
The NSS seems to be doing its job... When I have it in park and plug the connector with the purple wires on it, it immediately tries to start. While its trying to start, I put the car in gear and it...
OK.. I unplugged the Purple and Green plugs off of the NSS and plugged the starter connector back in. With the NSS unplugged, the starter doesn't do anything when I turn the key and/or try and start...
Here's the walk around..
It's a free tour.. no worries.

UPDATE: Ugh.. I fixed the PCV problem (thanks again) and went through each suggestion you all had about tracing this thing... Nothing worked. I even combined all of the suggestions at the same...
Well..it looks like I have some things to research tomorrow.. I appreciate your help. Tom, I think I'll try your suggestion (cause it's easy..) or maybe even try disabling that relay and run the...
After reading that, maybe we are closing in on the problem... I didn't change any of the wiring from the ignition, but it got me thinking about some of the updates I did and how I may have upset the...
Yes.. I turned the key to run and the starter went nuts.. as it was turning the engine over I cycled it through the gears. Then I freaked out and started frantically turning the key to all positions...
I tried that and it did the same thing.. in fact, the problem has now become a 100% of the time issue..I cursed myself!
Now each time the key is turned to Run it tries to start so I turn it off to...
First.. thanks to those who solved my last problem, the solution was much better than lighting the car on fire... here is a problem I have had for a while and can't seem to figure out..
65...
Wow.. thank you guys for the info.. I knew this would be a good group to ask!.. So I definitely do not have a road draft tube..:D Ray, the motor is out of my 65 riviera and I think it's the original...
There wasn't an easy way to get the PCV involved so I went the easy route to get the motor running.. Hate to sound like a rookie but what's a road draft tube? ( I obviously don't have one). If I go...
My 401 is a fresh rebuild and instead of the factory valve covers, I went with the Eelco covers and popped in chrome breathers from OPG. I'm not running any type of PCV setup on it at all. Now that...
Ahh.. Funny you bring up the Alt.. It's a power master one wire, so that opens another door. I grounded the ignition switch because it was easy :D No change.. In thinking back, it started doing this...
Maybe someone else has had this problem.. My 65 riv is gutted and ready for paint. It's got a fresh 401 nailhead and as I was putting it back together I ran into an oddball ignition problem. When I...
