Starter wires
 

I have installed a new engine(427) and need to know which terminals on the start to use. I have 4 wires going to the starter. 2 of the wires go to the big terminal on the back but I am not sure of the other two. I do have a coil so one of the wires is for that. Does any one have a pic of a starter with 4 wires hooked up? Or some wiring diagrams with the factory colors?

Here are a few pics from mine. I am not a wiring guy. But I know the larger of the 2 bolts connect the ground, fusible link wires and maybe the ignition if you have say an MSD box.
The smaller terminal which is closest to the block, is for 12v..I think... Do not pay attn to the orange wire on the smaller terminal, I use that for my bump starter when I needed to lash my valves. The other smaller terminal is not used. This is a stock starter. If you need better pics, I can get some newer images.

Thanks for the Pic it helps alot. I thought I might not need the small terminal on the left. Just the one closest to the block.

You have the two large wires correct.
The purple goes to the small solenoid terminal closest to the block.
The yellow goes to the small out board terminal.

Looks like the bolt that bolts the bracket to the side of the engine block on the far right side of your picture is loose...

:iagree: This is what you need. The pics posted by RebelRob appear to be for an HEI distributor but you have points.
