Mini-Starter wiring hook up question
I have been having a problem with my 427 starting after it warms up, its like the starter is draging and then it starts. I have been through the timing severals times, engine temp never goes over 150 deg.
So, I going to do a little science project with a Summit Protorque mini-starter I have. This starter only has 2 wire hook-ups, the batt and starter wire. Where does the third wire from the GM Delco starter go? I'm thinking it (the 12V start wire) will just hook up with the starter wire???? Thanks

The wires on the starter are as follows:
The big one is direct from the battery.
One is from the "start" output on the ignition switch.
The third wire bypasses the resisance wire to the coil during cranking. It provides a full battery voltage to the coil during cranking since the voltage drops a bit then. When the starter isn't cranking, the resistance wire (built into the harness) provides something less than 12V during normal operation.
THe third wire is not needed with the mini-starter.
