    Best I can figure is "I cranked Chuck over for the first time in a long time".

    I usually proofread my posts before posting cause they are usually worse than this by a good bit. :laughing6:

                  • I have it almost ready to turn over but i am scared. I need to know what goes on what on the starter solenoid, what skinny wire color goes to the alternator, what color skinny wire is the oil pressure switch back of block, what color skinny wire goes to the start solenoid. Ill fry if its wrong LOL. two thick terminals on the solenoid, I have a copper terminal on harness and also an O ringlet, much smaller gauge.

                      There's nothing I can do to quiet them down on a festy, right?

                          The b+ goes on the fat terminal that has nothing on it (12mm nut?) the ring terminal goes on the smaller stud with the 6mm nut (8mm?).

                          You can check the ring terminal with a test light, it should only be powered when the key is in start position.

                          I'm probably wrong, but alt is black/orange? That might have been my EGT...

                          Can't help the rest.

                            If I do that, I'll swap in a diesel. I don't plan on doing any major work to these engines.
