My old delco 12V starter (the 68 model 4020 was converted to 12V years ago) finally laid down the other day and I decided to replace it with the heavier built Nippon-Denso starter. I got the reman starter (it's a direct drive with the JD tag on the housing) from the local shop the other day. To my dismay, it wouldn't work at all when hooked up.
I came to learn that while my delco operated fine without a relay switch, the Nippon-Denso will not work without one.
I bought at relay (same one used on mid-80's ford pickups) at NAPA this morning. My question is where an ideal place to neatly mount it? By the way, I plan on using 10 gauge primary automotive wire between the large terminal where the battery cables attach on the starter solenoid; will this be ample to get the job done?
Any ideas would be great!
