mgb76,
Are you saying to connect the other black cable to the starter bolt that holds the starter to the soleniod, or the bolt on the solenoid that the possitive battery cable should go? I am assuming that you mean the bolt which holds the solenoid to the starter. please confirm. And I am not using the red cables for anything, right? So, i would hook up these black cable as you describe and then try to crank the ignition...the starter should then work? the solenoid also? would that send power up to my coil from the solenoid as well? if it works that is.
