ejw71 Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 In reference to rewiring starter solenoid. On a '71 1st Gen does purple wire attach to post closest to engine block and yellow wire attach to post furtherest from engine block? And, of course, battery cable attaches to largest post.

busmechanic Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 The wire that is hot when in the start posistion goes to the inside post. Not sure about the other wire I think it has something to do with the ignition. ------------------ My Monte's If it sounds like Thunder!!!

kc8oye Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 I just want to add a response to this before I send it to the archives Purple wire is the wire coming from the ignition switch, which goes to the 'S' post, the 'M' post goes up to the ballast resistor. 'S' is the nearest to the block. The 'M' post bypasses the ballast reisistor to provide full 12v to the points system while cranking.
