I'm going to run it, head is going on in the morning. I was a little concerned at first but this engine was running great before my little gp issue lol.. I bought another donor truck with a 6.9 and a banks turbo 
I'll be building that one on the stand studs etc... I'm just going to back off on the timing and try to keep the heat down in the cylinders

Personally, I wouldn't. I'd just set it to where it's supposed to be and run it. Too little heat is just as bad as too much heat.

Thanks! Now since I have correct GP's installed my relay is crap lol.. I have a push button for the plugs and no voltage on the orange wires when relay is activated , since I had the head off I removed the old gp controller and used a plug... my question is will these cheap relays work for awhile?

And since I don't have a controller it shouldn't matter if the old control harness isn't plugged into anything,right?

Did you check for power and connection condition on the hot side of the relay?
Yep, that O'-Reillys relay will be fine.
And yes, it doesn't matter the controller wires aren't plugged into anything, with the manual switch you become the controller. I do like to tape up loose wires and plugs though, just to protect them.

Love seeing these old bull nose IDI's running down the road. I would've driven it without the CDR, but I don't live California. Mine's had an RDT for 3,000 miles and I have no regrets.
