New 78 E-250 owner

Hi guys! Just got myself a beautiful 78 E-250 a couple weeks back. I plan on turning it into an off grid camper eventually. Right now i'm working on just getting it started. It has the 351 Windsor that is still ford blue and beautiful, barely has rust and it's mostly just surface.

Engine still has compression and Isn't seized so hopefully I can figure out the wiring bundle that's cut by my battery and where the solenoid mounts.

I figured I'd join since it's my first real project and i figured that I may need an account and some assistance. Hope to see you all in the forums!
