Well it wasn't like this when I had the 360 in my Jeep before the rebuild, I put it in exactly the same as it was before other than some performance parts. The only ignition change was a high voltage coil and TFI setup but I don't think that is the issue.
When I crank my Jeep it will crank forever without starting, but as soon as I let go of the ignition and let the key turn back to the "run" position it immediately starts.
Now, I've talked to several people, and the "I" post on the starter solenoid is supposed to power the coil when the key is in the "start" position and the motor is cranking. This power to the coil would allow it to start.
The "I" post on the solenoid is connected to the positive on the coil, yet it still does not start when the key is in the "start" position. It cranks the motor over, but doesn't start. It finally starts when I let go and the ignition goes back to the "run" position.
What in the heck is my issue here? I've tried countless times to diagnose it and have not come up with a solution!
Help me!

you need power to the ignition when the engine is cranking. Check to see if power is getting to the ignition when the key is turned to start. If you cant make it work then just wire in a switch for the ignition to turn it on.

Sounds like a bad solenoid to me.

Yep, check the solonoid. check the voltage at the coil during crank..

Check the Start and IGN wires are on correct then go to your fuse block and look at your Fuses - I had the same problem a couple weeks ago with a Painless harness and found I had a blown 20 Fuse!!!
