Re: 350 Chevy Small block starting problems ***please help!****
Ok i'll give it a shot. So when I run the wire from the "R" side, I connect it to the positive side of the solenoid?
the reason it tries to fire as you are releasing the key is there was 2 circuits. one for 12 volts while cranking and one for 9 volts while running. Now you need 12 volts for both, and you have none foe cranking. recheck the wiring. There needs to be 12 volts to the coil from the ign. side of the key. you can get this from the starter sol. if i remember right the term closest to the motor is the run side. anyway one will have an "S" and the other will have an "R" marked on it. you want the "R" side. make a new wire from there to the coil, as the old one is a resistor wire. just a 10 or 12 gauge should do. prefer 10. If it has a ballist resistor, bypass it. and your good.
