hi,
working on my 1975, 2.0, 5spd. i had the engine/trans out and i'm in the process of installing it. although i took time to label all the wires, one got lost in the mix. its the red wire from the alternator. i thought it was for the stater but it now won't reach and i'm also not sure which terminal on the starter is correct. |

The thick red wire with a ring terminal goes to the threaded post on the starter. If it doesn't reach double check your routing.

The alternator charges the battery via the starter cable, hence it shares the post.
