Thanks, all. I'll see if I can get a meter on the starter to check the voltage.

I assume the "safety switch" to which Denis is referring is the immobilizer. I've never actually had to deal with an immobilizer, which I assume has been moved from underneath the driver's seat. Any idea what a common "new" location would likely be? I figure I'll need to remove the roof (much easier after Bill C taught me how to install quarter-turn fasteners) and maybe the driver's seat but can't believe they'd leave it under there in a race car...
