Quick Starter Install Question

I just installed a PMGR starter. I just want to verify with someone that I set up the wires correctly:

1.) On the starter relay, I transfered the old starter wire to the terminal containing the (+) battery wire. So, this terminal (right hand terminal as you look down on the relay from the drivers side) has the battery wire, the old starter wire, and some other stuff.

2.) Connected new starter wire to the terminal that previously held the old starter wire. This terminal (left hand side) contains ONLY the new starter wire.


The car starts up just fine; however, I don't notice much difference from my old Motorcraft starter. It makes a slightly higher pitched, pulsating noise. (I was under the impression the engine would start way faster and sound very different than my original.)

I am probably being overly anal about this...I just wanna check with someone for piece of mind.


Thanks,
Evil Joe
