re-harnessing '86 CGT, friedness question

[Marc Swanson]

> Sorry, I meant relay the signal wire to the starter solenoid.  I think Hu=
w did this and there was a brief conversation on this on the list.  People =
were having some kind of weak signal to the solenoid, causing less than ful=
l power to the starter itself.

I woulda thought that as long as the solenoid opens you get full power..
it is just a switch after all.  Why would it only give partial power?

> I'll have to check that.  Which fuse is it?

Dunno, no bentley in front of me to check, but I think it is the 'spare'
fuse.




> I wonder if there is any potential damage to the computer or anything, ya=
 think?

anything is possible.  If the car starts and the CSV fires, I wouldn't
worry about it.


> Seems to "click" okay off the battery. :-P

Cool, doubt you could damage much on it even if it was 6v.. not much
complexity in that thing!
