thanks. i still don't see the wire that is disconnected. it's a small wire with a ring on the end of it and it looks to be coming out of the negative cable wrap. any idea?

make sure it's coming out of the negative and not the positive. I have my negative one just going to the bolt that the starter bolts in with, and the positive terminal goes onto the solonoid thing that is mounted on the side of the starter.

here you go.





c connects to c

a connects to a

B on the harness bolts to the starter body, one of two bolts you use to bolt it to the transmission. on the starter, just throw a nut on there and your done.

B wire DOES NOT connect to B on the starter.
