Hello all, Due to an unfortunate series of events (including the death of my best-friend of 37 years), my 1970 Monte Carlo sat in a field for an extended amount of time (years) and has deteriorated badly. One of the issues that needs to be rectified immediately is the wiring that USED to go to the starter. Apparently a mouse (rat or squirrel?) ate this and some other wiring, in several places, under the hood. I have a part of the harness that I believe went to the starter, including the "black-wrapped" harness behind the distributor, but unfortunately, it only has two black wires (that are only a few inches long- outside the wrapping) and the remnants of an orange, a purple (violet?) and maybe a pink or brown wire... I think that most of these go to the starter, right? I bought a Haynes Manual, but it doesn't tell anything about the solenoid wiring, other than to mark them when you remove them- which is already done (only eyelets remaining). Can anyone tell me where to find a diagram (sorry but not a B&W Technical one- I get confused by them) that will help me figure out where these five wires are supposed to go? Or maybe there is a photo of a correctly wired starter available? I appreciate any and all help, as I have finally gotten my car back to my house and want desperately to hear it run again. Thanks John
