Starter wiring
Does the yellow wire go on the left and the purple on the right?
Thanks

Re: Starter wiring
IIRC the purple wire goes next to the engine. I've switched to HEI so I don't have the yellow wire anymore and my purple wire is next to the engine.

Re: Starter wiring
Thanks for the info. I ordered a gear reduction starter last night. Should have it in a few days.

Re: Starter wiring
oh boy.....so I installed a new starter this weekend (twice, actually) but I have only one wire going to the starter. Obviously I have both posts on the solenoid. Whats the diff between the two? One of the reasons that I need to totally rewire the truck.
 (I have an HEI as well, if that makes a diff..... |
