Dang!....Good attitude...
You talked me into it streetz....I think I can handle a 2 bolt unbolt/rebolt.....and wires don't scare me at all..that part I have experience with (well,....computer guts anyway..:-)
I got the tools for it.....been buyin lotsa tools since I got her...
And fixin it and learnin how was half my reason for getting it in the 1st place!
Since you started this:
1) Any 'special/sensitive' alignments I should worry about when puttin it back on?
2) How much of a hassle will the think 'heat wrap' blanket its in be to re-install? Do I just pull it off? How does it attach and stay put upon a re-install....
3) Advanced can bench test the solenoid/starter motor I have now to see if it';s all working?....That would reaaaally help.
If I can manage this one,....maybe I'll be ready to install those nifty chrome valve covers I've had my eye on! Although I hear stories about torque wrenches and exact screw pressures and screw order tightening......maybe not.....

hahaha...ofcourse they did...
Ofcourse it had to be taken!......Figures.
You probably got $2.99 on your phone bill too :-)
Here's a coupla pics of 3 'black boxes' in the car....
- Circle "A" is probably somtin obvious! Laugh now.
- Circle 'B" from what I can tell has alot of wires screwed onto
a plate coming off it...otherwise it is a black box. I 'think' one of the wires from the starter solenoid is screwed on here..I THINK.
- Circle "C" is another mystery black box ......wires seem to disappear behind the block in a very nebuloous part of my engine,...and probably come out the drivers side and tie into all that spaghetti there.....
Figured this would give ya something to ponder whilst I check my connections....
The rain ahs stopped and it's drying up.....should now once and for all if I have a corroded or loose connections tonite!...
I CAN FINALLY SEE that I have a HEAVY gauge ground going from the battery top the starter motor AS WELL as the HEAVY guage pos. form battery to starter motor. My battery's third ground goes to frame in the trunk.....So my starter actually has a straight ground from battery,..NOT from frame or firewall.....
