Go to Blockbuster and ask for the movie, better yet, read the book. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

Movie was so-so for it's time, book is timeless.

I have the movie, it's a Cadi, I think a '66. I love the part where it would repair it's self.

A moveable core is better for heavy voltage. Like your starter needs. A relay has a little level that move like a pair of sisors. Making point A contact Point B, where Point A is the pivoit point. A solenoid is kinda like a button. U push down a button, where the whole core moves to make contact. But a solenoid uses electricity to move it, other then phyical force.

Try this sometime. Disconnect your starter wire from your solenoid, then have someone turn the key to start, it should make a thunk noise. Then just put your head near some relays, and have the person just turn the ket from off to on a couple of times. Should just be a click noise.

Relay: A device in which a set of contacts is opened or closed by a mechanical force supplied by turning on current in an electromagnet. The contacts are isolated from the electromagnet. It's purpose is to use low current to control a high current circuit. In other words, it uses current to move current.

Solenoid: An electromagnetic device that uses movement of a plunger to exert a pulling or holding force. In other words, it uses current to apply force.

A Relay is in the middle of a circuit, whereas a solenoid is at the end of a circuit.

The doohickey on the strut tower is a relay. The doohickey on the starter is a solenoid.

Take care,
~Chris

PS- Christine was a 58 Fury in the movie, too.
