ok
there is a plug type thing that leads into the wire harness
there is a post that has a large wire that goes to the starter then the battery has a feed from pos to the starter yet in my 87 and 86 there is a wire that goes from the post to the battery, did someone forget this on my 83?
thanks for your reply but i don't think it helps answer the question i have, but thanks
