Thanks bro! According to everyone I have talked to and the F-150's I looked at at U Pull It my starter and the way it's wired is different than every other Ford starter.?.? Im not worried about it now seeing as how we got it to crank today. Woo Hoo!!!!! We did exactly what you said. We soldered a couple of ring terminals together and it did the trick. And believe it or not, several beers later, we got it to start with only 7 plugs...because my "mechanic" friend forgot to plug in the #1 plug. He was happy as **** with himself because it started as quick as it did and ran with only 7 plugs. Anyway, we need a little timing and we're good. AC is cold, heater is hot, and this is 16 years later. Im totally stoked!!!
