Starter Motor wiring 1977 Corvette
 

From the plug to supply down to the starter motor I have wiring I have a red and white, a red , a purple and a black wire. Where do they connect to.

I have tried to research but can not find it anywhere. This is at the end of a five year project. Appreciate any help.

Cheers Rick

Here is a pic. of my stock '77 starter wiring.

The black wire goes to a transmission to engine block bolt closest to the starter. The double red goes to the large solenoid stud along with the positive battery cable. The wire with the small eyelet is the purple wire that goes to the "s" terminal on the solenoid. mike...

Thanks for your reply mds303 it was very helpful as part of wiring harness was missing.

The black wire is actually a single wire. I got up too early this morning. mike...

The small terminal goes to the S terminal, looks like yours is on the R terminal.

Well that would be hard. There is no R terminal on a 77 starter.
I would get under there with a test light and see if you have power to the purple wire when someone turns the switch for you. If not start checking that wiring.
