gear reduction starters

[Topsterguy]

Hi all!   I'm using a gear reduction starter on the coupe and unlike regular chev starters that have three terminals this one has two - the one big one for the battery cable and one smaller one. I've got two wires running from the wiring panel to go to it - Solonoid power and Ignition switch start. Where do thsoe two go?? :?   Thanks again ahead of time!  Larry

The three wires are a holdover from the points-ignition days.  Of the two smaller terminals, one is the solenoid-energize lead, and the other feeds full voltage to the coil to bypass the resistor wire, to improve starting.

In your car, you'll just need the main battery cable and the solenoid-energize wire (purple, as I recall.)

Assuming you're running an electronic ignition, unless I'm mistaken (a distinct possibility) you won't need the other wire.

Doc.
