Wiring Question for those who used 95 Silverado starters??
 

Looking to upgrade my starter to a newer smaller style Silverado starter from the mid-late nineties. How did you guys wire these up? I only see a stud for the 12v from the battery and a stud for the purple wire from the keyed ignition. What do I do with my yellow coil wire??

Thanks

I stripped mine out of the harness when I put in the HEI. You will have to find a different source for ignition power during cranking, if you aren't using an HEI or other ignition. If you still have points, you can tap into the purple wire to power a relay that will power the coil when cranking. You'd still use that yellow wire, in that case.

My yellow wire is gone too. I'm running HEI distributor.

Thanks guys, that’s just the info I was looking for as I also am running HEI.
