Bought a 57 Major Project & Need info on how Starter wiring should be ran on it?

Nothing connected as of now< Pics of how yours is wired would be Great?

Thanks, Rick

What sort of starter motor do you have. The type with the solinoid on the starter, or the type with the lever engagment.
Also, are you running a generator or an alternator.

It is the lever type, Has an alternator mounted to it........

Thanks, Rick

Rick,

Will this be any help?

Here is my wiring diagram for my 57 Major.
It has the lever starter, an alternator and uses an aftermarket "spring loaded start" ignition.
You need to use both the lever and the key in the start position for it to work. Disregard the electric fuel pump.



Hope this helps
