Weekend Agendas / First time start ???'s
I am going to finish hooking up my brake booster. mr4spd and I adapted the old mounting bracket to work with this one. I have to get an adampter for the fitting due to it being the next size larger. I will pick that up tomorrow at NAPA. We are then going to bleed the brakes. If everything goes well we will put on the front clip and install radiator. I plan on trying to start it on Tuesday.
Here is the question. I do not have the truck wired up yet, so how to a temporarily wire it to start the engine. I know I have to get a starter selonoid, but how to I wire from the coil to selenoid? Do I just run a hot wire to the starter and negative to the frame? I figure some one will have the answer.
Next week the ez wire kit should be in, until then I will be sanding the cab. I also will be finishing the body work on the front clip. I will be awaiting you response.
Thanks as alway...Kevin

Kevin,
You can wire up a simple basic ignition system fairly easy. Basically you need power to the coil. Where you get it from is your choice, either from the battery or from the starter solenoid...doesn't matter as long as its a constant steady voltage. If you changed over to negative ground you will need to run your juice to the positive side of the coil (opposite if you stayed with positive ground) Basically run the juice to the coil terminal that doesn't go to the distributor.
Good like with lighting it off
