OK, thanks. So the large starter cable connects to the solenoid terminal on the right side next to where the yellow wire is right? E.

Sorry for being such a nuisance but another small problem. I have the starter cable hooked up to the large terminal on the right side of the solenoid. I have the smaller wire (your yellow wire) hooked up to the small terminal on the front of the solenoid where your yellow wire is. This terminal is marked "I". The engine starts and runs great but the starter does not disengage. Any ideas? Once again, sorry to be a pain but I need to get this done. Thanks. E.

OK, I come to you a much humbler shade tree mechanic. I should note that although my mini starter had no instructions I managed to find a website today that had a brief instruction sheet. I quickly disregarded the instructions because they made some silly direction to attach the starter cable to the same terminal that the positive battery cable connects to and to connect the small wire to the opposite terminal. Stupid! Besides "I don't need no stinkin' instructions". Well, after trying every variation possible and being firmly convinced that there was something wrong with the damn starter I came to the realization that the only thing I had not tried was the hook up on the instruction sheet. Well, it worked! After wrestling with removing and re-installing the headers and doing a trial and error exercise with the wiring I have successfully turned a half day project into a 3-day weekend operation. Wonderful! E.

I would like to say a big thank you to rwhite65 for his assistance. There are so many little idiosyncracies with these classic cars that sometimes what works for one won't work for another. However, it is great to have people willing to help. This site has been an incredible benefit to me. E.

If it were not for this site, my car would have never gotten to the level it has. Many, many guys have helped me over the years.
