Okay I just got done putting a motor and trans back into the car and have everything wired up ready to go and as soon as I hook the battery up you hear the starter freewheeling.

I have my battery in the trunk and its been that way for a while now so I don't see why all of a sudden its acting up on me now.

I have the battery + to the starter and that same connector goes to B+ on the alternator, then that other starter cable from the harness is on the other solenoid terminal that has that small wire that goes from the starter to the starter solenoid.

the signal wire is hooked up too

so what in the hell is wrong? I know I'm having a short to somewhere there but none of the connectors look like they are even remotely touching eachother. I was getting low resistance between the battery positive and negative connectors (not terminals)

help

Sounds like you might have the starter wired backwards?
