[Chevelle-list] starter & starter wiring

[John Nasta]

Thanks Herb,

I can agree that it's better not to have solder connections down  
there, and maybe the metal bracket can withstand or dissipate the heat  
better. I need to see if the hardware store has some convenient  
material to make a jumper bracket out of, and I probably don't have a  
3/8" drill bit. Otherwise I'm going w/ 10-gauge wire. Keep in mind  
that Summit charges over $10 to ship their kit, and you don't end up  
w/ nice neat 4 gauge cables w/ factory ends. I just hope this works. I  
have always had hot start problems w/ this car. Otherwise it's  
mini-starter time.

John
