How is the Starter wired on a 1969 Chevelle?

The starter on a 1969 Chevelle is wired as follows:

1. The positive battery cable connects to the starter solenoid terminal marked "BAT"

2. The starter solenoid terminal marked "S" connects to the ignition switch.

3. The ground cable from the battery connects to the starter housing

4. The starter relay connects to the starter solenoid terminal with the purple wire. the other connection on the relay connects to a 12 -volt power source, typically through ignition switch in "START" position

5. When the ignition switch is turned to the "START" position, it sends power to the starter solenoid.

6. The starter solenoid engages the starter motor and the engine starts.

7. When the ignition switch is released, the power to the starter solenoid is cut off and the starter disengages

Note: It is crucial to properly insulate and secure your wiring to guarantee reliable functionality of the starter, prevent potential short circuits, and maintain the safety of the electric system in your Chevelle.
