rewire starter relay 86 Lemans
« on: December 29, 2018, 10:59:21 PM »
Hi,

 Is there a simple starter relay rewire for a 1986 Lemans? Something similar as on infamous Startus Interuptus on the Breva and Norge's?

Thanks

The basic problem is trying to make electrons go all over the place and through a bunch of connections before they are needed for work at the starter motor.  The system works much better if you can create a short, direct path from battery, through relay, to starter.  I wrote a plan for the smallblock.  Your wiring design is likely very similar.  YMMV.  Try this:
