Russ I said 2/0 cable not 2. About 30 years ago I developed a way to get the full 6 volts to the coil when starting. I ran a wire from the starter side of the starter solenoid to a 5 amp diode mounted on the coil side of the resistor. When the starter button is pushed the voltage going to the starter is sent through the diode to the coil bypassing the resistor giving the coil the full 6 volts only while the starter is engaged. While the engine is running the diode blocks the voltage from going back and trying to run the starter. One draw back is the car will start and run without the ignition switch but will only run while the starter button is pushed. I decided not to market this item because of that feature but have diodes on several of my cars and have had no problems. Once in a while I push the starter without turning on the ignition switch and realize I didn't turn the switch on as so as I leave off the starter button and the engine dies. You can check the direction of the diode with a volt meter, it will block the voltage in one direction and allow it to flow in the other direction. I also use 2 diodes to wire a Radio Shack noise maker for the turn signals. These are little round devises that work on 4 to 20 volts. Tie the ends of 2 diodes in parellel to the hot wire of the device and the other wire of the devise to ground. The other end of the diodes go to the left and right front turn signal wires. I also use the same method to use the fog lights for turn signals and fog lights. G.M.
