I want to simplify things & convert to a solenoid starter.
I bought a 55/56 solenoid starter from JIM CARTER.
After getting it I'm wondering if I should have gone with a 57 or later starter(better design?). I haven't installed her yet & can return it
if the 57s are more reliable.
Also don't know how to wire it. Connections are "S" & "R". I'm thinking that a ground push button on the "s" will work??? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | If you are going to use a key turn ign. switch run a 12 gauge purple wire from the starter term to the S term on the selinoid. If you are going to use a push button switch run that same wire to one term on the switch & the other term to a hot bat connection. You should have a small wire on the side of the switch on the stomp starter. Connect that to the R term.of the selinoid. It bypasses the resister for more voltage to the coil when cranking. The other end should be connected to the pos. side of the coil.
I don't know which starter is best, but the later model is easier to work on.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
