Starting issues

This brings up another point. "Back in my day" my 69 RR rattled around until it BROKE the solenoid wire right there at the starter. These were originally a "dual" molded connector with the solenoid wire and battery cable molded together. The solenoid wire broke inside the molded terminal.

On a 383RR, "not so much fun" in Navy dress whites to reach down and start the darn thing.
