You could just read the STICKY in the maintenance section for instructions & pics.

Picked up on an old thread here.

Followed Mikeyt instructions on the maintenance sticky. I get a click at the slave solenoid. Checked for voltage at Terminal A, and all good. Touch Terminal B while having assistant turn key. Solenoid clicks but no voltage at Terminal B. So bad solenoid according to sticky.

Purchase new slave solenoid and install. Exactly same result.

Any suggestions?

Check your grounds... I had someone install a starter and he didn't tighten it all the way I guess and it had oxidation between the starter and the block and it wouldn't ground properly. Also went ahead and put all new connectors on the main cables (big ones) and all the smaller connectors on the solenoids..

Final verdict: bad Mallory fuse.
