Solenoid Wiring Hook-up
I took out my starter to change my solenoid (intermittent problems). I noticed there were 3 wiring locations with 2 attached (battery and something else). There was a 3rd wire hanging down with no connecter end (and not connected). Any thoughts about what this is? Does it need to be attached?

Not HEI. Original. Apparently the other is the switch. Not sure as to the other wire.

Re: Solenoid Wiring Hook-up
It's odd because I don't think it was connected. It definitely doesn't have a connector and is a bit shorter. Will is start with just the switch and power?

Re: Solenoid Wiring Hook-up
Like doc said. The points wire is closet to the frame rail when the starter is installed. The ign switch is closest to the block.

Re: Solenoid Wiring Hook-up
It must be the points wire. It was starting fine (except for the solenoid not kicking out fully.
