Starter Relay

[NickJ]

Afternoon Fellas
  Hopefully a quick and easy question. I'm redoing the wiring in my 69 and the kit I have does not include the 2 wires from the relay to the starter. I can make them easy enough but was unsure of what gauge they would have been. Any help is always appreciated.

Between relay and starter just one wire is required to trigger the solenoid. As far I recall is 12 gauge.

The other wire comes from battery

There are two threaded terminals on the starter; a 10 or 12 GA wire goes from the large starter terminal (shared with the battery positive cable) to the BAT terminal on the starter relay and a 16 GA wire goes from the small terminal on the starter solenoid to the SOL terminal on the starter relay.

Oh ok! So on 69 the wire to the relay stud comes from the starter motor batt wire? On laters, this wire is spliced straight from batt terminal.

But the solenoid wire is not 16, is 12

(That diagram is mine LOL)

In '71, the wire from the starter relay to the starter is a 12ga brown wire.

Thank you for all the responses. I'm using an American Autowire Classic update kit so my layout is slightly different than stock. I did find a bit of wire on my original relay left behind and was able to match the gauge that way. Thanks again.
