hi starter, i just finished installing a fresh motor on my 67 gto. i put in the starter, delco type. heres what i have, distributor to negative on coil. positive battery cable to large stud on starter, as well as the red wire. purple wire from harness to S side of solenoid on the starter. well when i hooked up the battery, the starter engaged immediatley. no keys in ignition. i could hear it spinning. now i swear the purple wire went to the s side of the terminal on the starter. thought i was wrong so i changed it to the other side. nothing, so i put it back on the S side of the solenoid. now it dosnt do anything. i have power to the car , radio headlights etc. but when i turn the key to the on position i dont hear anything. this was done with the starter hanging,bolts not even mounted. just to see if it would work. nothing. but power to everything else. i dont know if this means anything, but the last time the car was actually running i blew a rod in the number 1 cylinder. swear i had everything hooked up right. but i never seen the starter engage like it did as soon as i put the cables on the battery. i really can use some help here. i have just about mastered putting in the starter with ram air manifolds, and thats something i dont want to be doing all the time. not too much fun there! so if anybody can chime in i would really appreciate it. thanks...
