Ok I am installing a new starter tonight and I started reading on that and it posed some questions on my HEI I have it wireed with the old yellow wire from the original dist. It has 12v on it but I am having warm starting issues. I read I should wire a new wire to the HEI? Does that yellow wire lose voltage during cranking? Is that a possible a problem why I am having trouble starting hot? On a side note my yellow wire was broke off at the starter. Should I wire it back up tknight when I put on the new starter and does it matter what side the solenoid coil the purple and yellow wire go?
