Re: starter starting 73gmc

Solenoid, means a solenoid activated by the key. The key turns on power to fuse box and anything else tied to it. You want a fusible link or solenoid between the battery and box. Starters can be wired in different ways. It should have one solid big wire to the battery. The small terminal is for ignition. Taking power from the starter to other places is not a good idea.
