Starter Help

[Elvis]

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.
