uh, why not just use the the gap in the motor mount? its a direct strait line to the starter... use some extentions.. it works :D

Because some people (like me) like to do things the harder way because we don't think of the easier way until afterwards.

I bought a mini-starter off ebay not too long ago for my Rustang, and it was too big to fit in the dust plate. What really sucks is I went all out and got new wires and terminals and I can't use them with the stock starter.

I got it to work on my 87 when I switched the starter out with my 86.
