Transmission and battery ground straps. Yellow wire to the solenoid. Make sure it's on the correct terminal and that it gets power when the ignition switch is turned to the "start" position. If the car has a seatbelt interlock logic relay (1974, some 1975s), the wires under the passenger seat should be inspected, and the 2 large yellow wires should be bridged. Whacking the starter and/or the solenoid is a sure way to shorten the life of the unit. The Cap'n

take off connector at relay board, take a very thin knife and gently spread out those fingers a bit so the connector sits firm and put the connector back on with some dielectric grease.
