Thanks Dave!
What wire connects to the negative side of the coil?
Perhaps you could provide a schematic or a quick listing of all the electrical connections to supplement your video such as:
1. Battery cable connects negative battery post to ground on bellhousing
2. Battery cable connects positive battery post to large bolt on solenoid
3. etc, etc

Great video Dave for everyone. I even learned a thing or two lol.
Keep them coming and next time I see you, you need to teach me how you get the video on a thread.

Well the distributor wire connects to the neg side of the coil like normal,,so easy,,Matt Nall Has Done it!!

Where's the plaid?
Here is the engine for Helen's Rampy starting for the first time. Evidently it has lost its link on the original thread.

Dave,
I viewed your great video, again.
I can do most mechanical stuff; the things I can actually see. It's invisible electricity that baffles me. Sometimes I create loud sparks and melt things when I fiddle around with electricity.
What's the best way to test your starter before attaching it to the engine? I'm sure it's a very simple process; maybe just connecting the positive terminal from the battery to the "big nut on the solenoid" and then just momentarily grounding the negative lead from the battery to the body of the starter? Can that be done without attaching smoke detectors and fire alarms (required items when I mess with electricity) or a ballast restitor somewhere between the battery and the starter?
AND, while I was previewing this before posting, I thought about how to test the heater-blower motor while I'm at it. My car went through a lot of sandblasting and painting underneath. I told my body man to pay attention to the heater motor under there. He did cover it, but I want to make sure it works, too.
Thank you.

Damn it! Did it again. "restitor" equals "resistor." Spellcheck doesn't seem to be working--the one in my head.

Wait a minute - that's a ground clamp on the positive post. I thought our cars were negative ground?

Frog,
I have run my engines out of the cars numerous times for 10 to 20 minutes each with no ballast resistor. I have not had any problems, though IIRC the ballast resistor keeps the points from getting burned out (never happened to me however).

I was having problems with A engine shutting off after about a min of running years ago with no ballast resistor in line,and seem to remember the coil on that engine getting realy hot..maybe a weak coil?,so I instaled this resistor and it ran fine after,,but I have ran them with no resistor in line before that and they ran fine,,so I just always use this set up now and they all run fine

Including the ballast resistor is undoubtedly the better way to go. I just never had one handy at the time. Thanks for posting up the video Dave. Its really helpful!

Thanks for posting, Dave.
I'm sure there are a zillion little tweaks that various guys use but it's all the same in the end.
I use a battery charger to power the coil instead of battery direct - this limits the current so I don't need a ballast and I can unplug the charger and kill the engine from a distance should something ever go really wrong.
Also note, there's no need for a transaxle - just space the starter off the bell housing with a couple of lug nuts.

OK. With all this talk about the coil, I'm assuming that the equivalent of the ballast resistor, which apparently reduces voltage to the coil (for whatever reason this is necessary), is somewhere in the assembled electrical system--maybe the voltage regulator?
Was my idea of testing the starter motor on the bench correct? That is, connecting the plus wire from the battery, then tapping the starter with the negative wire?
Thank you.
