Re: Starter Wiring

That makes sense and was what I was thinking.
I still don't get the wires that are there but oh well.

Starter Wiring

Can anyone tell me how to properly wire a starter?
I'm reassembling an old Caracal and I'm not sure the starter was installed properly before.
As far as I can tell, I have one wire from the positive terminal of the battery, one from the negative (ground), and one to ground through the ignition switch.

WANTED: relatively inexpensive car near TX

Have a friend who might be interested in trying out either Formula Vee or First...
Does anyone have a relatively inexpensive car (possibly slider) near Texas?
Just testing the waters for now. I might let him try out my old car, but he mentioned getting his own FV or FST project underway soon.
Thanks!

I'm rebuilding a stock 1600cc engine for street use and wasn't sure what kind of balancing would be necessary. I've built a street engine from new parts and didn't bother with balancing since it wasn't a high performance engine, but this time I'm using some old, used parts, so does that change anyth...

I think these are the only king pin spindles I have.
I also have the king pins, shims, and offset bushings.
If you just want the spindles, I can assemble all of this.

Sorry guys, I lied. I don't have a COMPLETE front end. I'm missing at least the roll bar (stole it for another project) and don't think I have a sway bar spacer... Other than that I MIGHT have everything else for a front end, but would have to look through my extra hardware stock to know for sure. H...
