I purchased a Ford motorcraft starter solenoid from National parts depot for my 69 fastback. I took the wires from my existing one off one post at a time and put them on the new one. When I hooked the negative battery back up it sparked big time and sounded like the motor wanted to turn over. Is it possible that the new solenoid is wired different than the old. Any help would be appreciated.
