How easy was this to install?
Did you have to drop the starter?
Did you have to purchase anything else to get it installed?
Any tips or tricks?
1. Very easy for anybody mechanically inclined
2. I always had to drop the starter to work the solenoid wires
3. I did fabricate a new positive cable but you don't have to
You can cut your existing cable and crimp on two new eyelets for the Ford solenoid, there's a special tool for this, I suppose I lost mine, haven't seen it since
4. When I did it there was no kit, IIRC I got the diagram from HO Racing, long defunct. Check the diagram below.
5. I fabricated the shunt to tie the two terminals together, VERY short, just two eyelets with ~ 1/4" of wire to connect them. I could've used a piece of metal and drilled two holes.
I don't recall Dad ever having starter problems with that car again.
