Ok I just put in my engine put all the wires back just like all the pictures I had taken.Now as soon as I turn the key and put power into the system the car starts.{key is not turned to the starting position}and when I turn it to the starting position it stops turning over.I thought at first it was the solenoid so I bought a new one and put that in same thing.I know sometimes some solenoids are reversed so I tried that same thing.I did attach my tach to the steering column with some screws didn't feel like I hit anything could I have screwed something up.It seems like the starting position has been reversed.

You have the two small wires on the solenoid reversed.
