“Starter”
The connections to the starter will vary depending on your ignition system, the
location of a neutral safety/clutch switch, and your connection point on the battery
power source for the MIDI fuse.
You will find 2 wires grouped together for starter connections. These wires are:
Black/Purple
: 12 gauge wire, printed
#919 STARTER SOLENOID "S" (START
SIGNAL)
, this wire will supply the solenoid with a switched power source from the
ignition switch. This power will activate the starter solenoid causing it to turn the engine
over for start up. This wire will only have power when the ignition switch is in the
Start/Crank
position.
Black/Yellow
: 16 gauge wire printed
#970 IGNITION BYPASS (COIL "+" TO
STARTER "I")
. This wire will provide the coil a full 12v of power when the starter
solenoid is engaged this wire will only have power when the key is in the
Start/Crank
position. Only installs using a ballast resistor will require the use of this wire. The installs
that utilize an internally resisted coil, an HEI distributor, or an aftermarket electronic
ignition will not need to connect this wire; it may be removed from the harness.
Route the black/purple
#919:
If you are using a transmission mounted neutral safety switch (MOPAR
reverse switch/NSS excluded) or an engine bay column mounted NSS:
#919
will route to the neutral safety switch. Cut to length and route the
remainder of
#919
from the neutral safety switch to the starter solenoid or
to the starter relay. Connection of the NSS will be handled on page 56.
If you have a column or shifter mounted neutral safety switch (like the GM
switch shown on page 93 of the second manual), clutch switch, or
MOPAR transmission mounted reverse/NSS switch:
#919
will route to the
Starter solenoid or starter relay. Connection of the NSS will be handled on
page 79.
Route the black/yellow
#970
(if used), to the starter solenoid or starter
relay and cut to length. Be sure to keep all wires away from the exhaust
manifold or header.
If you are connecting the battery supply to the MIDI fuse to the battery
cable/post on the Starter, connect it now.
BE SURE THE BATTERY
CABLE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE MAKING
THIS CONNECTION.
Use one of the following sets of instructions to connect the
#919
and
#970
wires
according to the starter solenoid or relay you are using.
