Replaced my dead starter with a rebuild this weekend.
There are 3 connections;
1)The main large gauge (small #) from the battery.
2)The switched current from the ignition switch.
3)I believe the 3rd went to the resistor on the original coil before I changed over to a HEI with internal coil. (Not used now)
On my original starter, the ignition juice wired to the post closest to the engine. (Furthest right in pic)
I tried that on this one and it spun for a second and stopped.
Now, nothing.
Facts;
1)Brand new battery.
2)Voltmeter shows current getting to the switched post/wire.
Even used jumper cables straight from batt. to ensure that the battery cable or ground wasn't an issue.
After freaking out, I briefly connected the hot wire to the left (furthest from engine, left in pic) post and the starter spun.
I was slightly encouraged but wanted to wait until today to post this and get some expertise before I wired it up for good and possibly fried the thing.
Thanks a bunch in advance for your help,
Brog
