Maybe I can help a bit with the electrical. The neutral safety switch has 2 pairs of wires. One pair is for the backup lights, power in from the fuse panel with a splice at the connector to the windshield washer pump (backup lights and washer pump are on the same fuse). When the gear selector is in "R", the backup lights are powered.
The other pair is from the ignition switch and powers the coil in the starter solenoid. When the coil is energized, it pulls the contacts that close the circuit from the battery to the starter. The neutral safety switch only allows this to happen when the gear selector is in either "P" or "N". When the steering column is swung to the right, the neutral safety switch is inoperative.
I don't know if this is any help, but I wonder if you are wrestling with 2 problems, one being the ignition switch that is energizing the starter solenoid in the run position?
