First off its' a '64 Chevy 2-ton C-50 with a 250 6cyl std shift.
Well the starter has seen better days and decided to have it rebuilt (got a new one from Oreilly's that the bolts didn't line up from thicker snout flanges for some reason. took back)
Got the original rebuilt, put it on and was cleaning the wire connections from corrosion and such. decided to cut off damaged stuff and solder on new.
Everything is going as planned and I'm a happy boy until I notice that there seems to be an extra black wire that looked to be without eyelet or connector for some time since that particular wire was bent toward the bell housing and pretty stiff.(didn't remember taking it off)
So this is what I have so far to memory..
BIG RED + --going on main lug.
Yellow-- with BIG eyelet attached with BIG + (like I remember)
Purple-- to "S" on d/s of solenoid (where I've remembered and have done for decades)
another Black-- going to "R" on p/s of solenoid
(to regulator??)
I've googled for several hours and have just gotten more confused by some that added stuff and the so called 'stock' pics look like I've got it right.
OH, it was easier to put on a 'trigger' remote starter under the hood, so I wouldn't have to get out every time to try and turn it over..
Fired right up, tuned the rebuilt carb and got her running smooth. Did my little happy dance, stared at it for a while and thought I was done..
Turned the key to off and it kept running..
I was dark by then, so I pulled the coil wire off and went in.
Just a while ago tried to start and NOTHING... DEAD-DEAD..
I HATE WIRING AND IT DIDN'T HELP THAT I PULLED IT BEFORE THANKS GIVING.. But heck, it's only 4 wires..
I should be able to figure this out.
Camera's battery was down, so I'll take pics in a few hours.
THANKS E
