Yes, in a twin I truck. that's what you need. Try and get ones from a 69'-'79 302 truck with power steering, the drivers tower is different for power steering.

well it IS a Mercury..

Well despite a couple hangers-on over at the old place, the transfer of our current members (those who actually come and see every day) seems to be going along quite well. One notable exception is John Wilkerson.. one of the original guys in the Sllick 60's movement (sounds funny that, like the &quo...

If all goes as it did in the past, the old site will go to seed pretty fast. Sad, for some, but true. The picture albums over there will not go away until Foodstick someday decides he is taking that old site down, or deletes the group. In other words, he might not do that for years, but once the lev...

Thanks kindly once again Gentlemen
Seems clear in my frazzled grey matter now...

If you wish to keep your original solenoid, here what you will need to do: 1. Connect the starter supply wire to the large UPPER post on the new starter. 2. Connect a jumper wire between the upper large stud and the small stud marked KEY or START. I stil think that is easier than re-wiring everythi...

John! That is EXACTLY what I was looking for... where is that thumbs up icon?

Thank you very much, I will be trying that tonite or tomorrow morning

Hey HEY! Getting some of the BIG guns here now...

Johnny,How do I post a pic? scroll about 1/2 way down this thread m Jim will tell ya. So... which one is it boys? one wire to the top terminal or one to each?

Ok I think many of us know that a Ford Starter usually has but one big thick wire to hook up. But this high torque Mini Starter has me baffled for my 302 It has 4 terminals on it, like the main Starter Solenoid on the firewall....!? anyone hooked one of these up before? Someone in the club must have...

I heard thru the grapevine that Sinc is not the biggest fan of here, although apparently you can post both threads and pics here.

Neither of which you can do on the old site right now.

Guess we are all nostalgic for something, but I sure ain't nostagic for THAT kind of fricckin grief

Serious request for a better chat program I tried breifly to chat with Calirob last night, and neither of us liked it at all. Too small a window, too small a type.. we were having a hard time with just 2 of us in that crowded wee box,, if there were a half dozen guys in there you couldn't follow a c...

Foreword.. I tried to post this on the old site, in response to a post Sinc had about staying on the old MSN site, after 13 tries in a row I gave up and posted it here Sinc, buddy You of all people, who hasn't been able to post a picture in MSN for years.... I knew that in any given situation, movi...
