starter question

[pokey]

I had to put one of these gear reduction starters on my jeep to clear the headers and of course it came without any instuctions. So how do I wire it ? I assume the main battery cable goes directly to the batt. and the small terminal goes to the "start" wire on the ignition switch. I just dont want to burn the thing up win I start it for the first time.

sounds right. the only other style i have seen is ford style with just the positive wire going to the starter. i would try a quick bench test but i do think you are correct. thats how my starter works.

Are you gonna use some type of shielding to keep the heat from killing the starter???

 

[rockcroller]

you got it right, you shpuld be all set to go.

You are right Jim, and you are definitely gonna want to shield the end of that starter somehow, or it will die an early death....May have to modify the header for clearance...or change the header altogether.

Yeah. Factory Ford on the gear reduction starters is the small wire goes to the starter side of the fender solenoid, and the large cable goes right to the battery. Don't really need a fender solenoid, so you should be fine running it right off the switch.

Hopefully the picture makes that header look closer then it really is :eeek:

x2, It thats as close as it looks there will be a lot of compression starting in the future

just turn the headers over jim, that would be cool oldschool!:redneck:

You know, a factory ford gear reduction starter is probably smaller and definitely cheaper than that thing.
