Solenoid wiring

[Emahlum]

I was wondering if anyone had a diagram on the starter Solenoid or a picture of there’s. Just wondering where the starter ground would go? And making sure that the wires that I have on the solenoid are in the right positions. Thank you.

When asking questions... it's always best practice to tell us what we're working on. Year... engine... transmission.

I have an 85 and 86 EVTM. I'll post the 86 2.9L page here in a bit.

Starter ground... negative battery cable typically has two leads. One to the sheet metal near the battery... the other lead (larger of the two) goes to one of the starter retaining bolts.

It's all good...

This is the 86 2.9L

I will get the 85 in a minute. But you sure it isn't a 2.8L?
