Good morning. Brought the electrical system up on the Fresno 914 - so far so good.

Well, mostly so far so good. My starter solenoid wiring is missing in (in)action. I believe that wiring comes through the tunnel in the cabin but where should it exit the firewall?

Once this is sorted I should be able to time it and see if I can get it fired on a temporary fuel tank while the original one is being coated.

Thanks!

Got it sorted - this car had aftermarket A/C on it and the original engine is gone. That resulted in the connector for the 12 pin being missing and some funky wiring being where it shouldn't have been.

Got all the misc stiff removed and jumpered to the starter solenoid and the solenoid engages now. Starter isn't spinning despite having 12v there so have other issues to work through still.

The lead from the + battery terminal is getting warm to the touch when I try to spin the starter so I may have lots of resistance in that old cabling. I'd like to think the starter is good having just had it rebuilt, but we know how that goes. Going to pull it and bench test it tomorrow.

Thanks again for the help!
