HELP WITH WIRING ASAP

[GRINCH]

Putting truck back together and forgot to label a few wires.

I need to know where the black with red stripe wire from the battery goes. I know the larger wire goes to the starter. I thought the black/red stripe goes on the the smaller terminal of the starter. But it looks too short.

How many wires go on the starter?

Thanks all.

I should be firing up the new motor tommorow!!!

let me think....
1. Main lead from the bat. (positive)
2. solinod trip wire(smaller wire with about 1/8 inch eye hook)
3. Power lead to rest of the truck. (medium wire that hooks onto the same terminal as the battery wire.)

At least thats' how it works on my 88. Hope this helps.

This is how my 89 is wired . your 90 should be the same.
The black wire with the red stripe goes to the alternator.
The starter has the big wire from the pos side of the batt and a solid red wire on the big center termnial. The small black colored wire goes to the little terminal on the starter

I thougth that also but it looks short, I will check it again in the A.M. . Does yours run across the intake manifold to the alt on the drivers side?

Thanks

Yeah. It goes across the front of the intake manifold.
And yur Welcome. Also. Dont forget to hook up the solid red #10 size wire to the big center connector on the starter. That red wire is what Picks up the power for all the elecrical stuff, Including the ignition
