Not sure if this will solve your issue but hopefully it does!
Fusible Link replaced, no CEL still difficult to start, delayed crank

I can test it out with the jumper you posted.
If it cranks with no delay upon touching the battery it must be it.

Is this connection necessary?
No, but technically would work lol, but not in a good way.
Your starter would perma run until it burned out because it activates without key input.

Because it would constantly get exited having a constant voltage on the S terminal, right?
Yup, it’s the same idea as my tester cable except we are manually applying power vs permanently attached. It bypasses the entire ignition system.

Making progress. I am still waiting on some parts from China (the plugs for the starter solenoid).

It's funny how the solenoid connector from China arrived before the one ordered on Amazon the same day.
Apparently I got confused by the Aliexpress description of those connectors. Only one arrived instead of what I thought it was a pair, male and female side.
I had to order the other one today too. I guess 2 more weeks.

They don't come as a pair. You need to order them separately, unless there is a deal out there for the pair.
This is what got me confused. I thought everything would be included as the list here describes the "contents".

I guess the relay could also be bad.

I took the easy way out.
This morning I completed the Ford solenoid hack.
I had to wait for parts from China to arrive.
Meanwhile I had to use a wire linked to the starter and the battery to get it started... for about 2 weeks or so.
After completing the wiring this morning she fired up without any hesitation.

The top part came in today.
I had the other one which allowed me to use the battery to get it started.

Here's the final result.
Oh and that solenoid kicks pretty hard when it gets excited.

True.
I was thinking about a possible short as I was tightening the nuts on those terminals with a wrench.
Yes, you never know what you will use under the hood one day and by mistake touch those points.

I finally got to installing these boots.
They fit perfectly on the outside terminals, but are a bit too big for the middle ones, however it still works fine.
