Toppless72 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Of course you will have the large wire (0 or 1 gauge) from the battery that attaches to the upper stud on the solenoid (the B connection). Also there will be small a black wire (10 gauge) that will attach here too. Next, you have a purple wire (12 gauge) that attaches to the stud towards the motor on the solenoid (the S connection). Then you’ll have a yellow wire (20 gauge) that attaches to the small stud to the outside of the solenoid (the r connection). This is how it shows the starting motor circuit on page 12-68 of the 1972 Chassis Service Manual ST 329-72. Where is the 5th wire going and what color and size is it?

Leghome Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Some of the starters on;y have the Orange/red/really big wire, the black wire and the purple wire. Mine is that way because I have the HEI type of ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitri Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 im not sure of the colors of the wires but i have the possitive cable going to it and the yellow from the fuse panel and two small power wires and a 5th wire which was found in side the loom going nowhere im hoping i can get rid of the dead wire and one of the small power wires and be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
