So if I jump my relay on the inner fender with a screwdriver the engine starts up perfectly, so now what? The starter looked fine when I looked it over during the engine swap.
My negative battery terminal has a bolt on it halfway down the wire that looks like it should screw into the engine block but the bolt is way too small to thread in. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for these parts? Next to that hole is where the starter connects to the engine block (right?) and it's cleaned up and screwed down tight but I had to add some washers to it since the bolt is too long for those threads. I'm thinking the negative connection to the block might be a crucial part here but what confuses me is that the engine still starts just fine despite this wiring conundrum using the screwdriver-to-relay method.
