If your new starter motor has a shift solenoid on top of it that shifts the starter drive into mesh with the ring gear then you really dont need a separate solenoid involved. All you need is to power the small terminal on the starter solenoid from a key or press button start switch. If you use the original firewall solenoid then it has to power the main terminal on the starter and also the small activating terminal together. Put a small jump wire between the solenoid on top of the starter main terminal and the small terminal that activates the solenoid. Regards, Kevin.
