[Chevelle-list] starter & starter wiring

[Dale]

Didn't say I agreed with the way it's done on the Nova site, just pointing
to a reference and one way to do it.  The forum link kinda doesn't like it
either, but again they're opinions.

To quote the M.A.D. site, "The problem occurs because the large solenoid on
the GM starter draws 40 to 50 amps at the moment the key is turned to
"START."   And that large amount of current must flow through a very lengthy
circuit, from the battery to the dash area.  Through dash wiring and
switches, back out through the under-hood wiring, finally to the starter.

The START'M UP kit will reduce current flow through the lengthy circuit to
only 2 amps-then the system will work fine."

I'm sure if some research is done online, there'd be somebody that would put
it in terms even I could understand.  I'm barely beyond the Off/On concept -
LOL  But I know it's worked for some and not for others.  Some think it's
the greatest thing since sliced bread and others say it's a waste of time.

Unless I'm missing something, the novaresource way (same as 
stevesnovasite) seems totally bogus. The starter solenoid would still 
have to work and the new Ford solenoid just becomes an extra inline 
switch.

The Summit way shows a jumper wire from the BAT terminal on the 
starter to the S terminal. I'm still not sure how this helps if the 
solenoid on the starter is fried.
