[Chevelle-list] Starter wiring terminals 72 Chevelle

[Bill Vander Werf]

The yellow wire ran up to the coil to supply the points ignition with a full 12 volts for starting. It was energized only when the starter was engaged. If you are using HEI ignition you don't want this wire connected.

You also want to make sure you don't supply your HEI distributor with power from the resistor wire that used to power your points type distributor. HEI needs a full 12 volts.

  I have a new harness, with HEI and three wire alternator from M&H.  I need to connect the wires to the starter.  It looks like there are 3 or 4 terminals on the starter.  It looks like the S terminal is closest to the engine and the purple wire goes on that one.  The center lug is big and the wire from the battery goes to that one.  There is then a small terminal directly below the battery lug and one outboard of it.  I have two other wires to hook up.  One being a yellow and the other is black I beleive.  Which terminals do the connect to????  Should have wired this up before putting the headers on.

  Thanks,
