I just bought my son an 88 GT as a father/son project (to restore) and I gave him a complete 95 5.0 motor and tranny (one of my spares). My problem is the wiring to the starter is different in the 88 from the 95. I was told I have to run a jumper wire(signal wire) from the starter relay to the starter. But I am not sure where the wires go on the starter and the relay. I tried looking on my 93 GT because it has the same starter as the 95, but I installed an aftermarket mini high torque starter a few years ago and it required modifying the stock wiring, so it didn't help any. The stock 95 mini starter has a top post and a bottom post on it. Can any one give me real clear instructions or a diagram?

Thanks, Dan

Thanks, I feel really dumb for not searching the threads before posting my Question. Sorry everyone my bad.
I am still a bit confused from that post and for some reason I can't get the diagram to print off. I also need to see a diagram of the starter and where the wires go there too. Can any one help me with this?
Thanks a Bunch

this is a very easy fix. i ran into this same problem. first run a big battery wire down to the starter b+ terminal. then run a wire from (looking at starter soleniod) the left terminal down to the starter solenoid S terminal. and you will be all set. basically all your doing now is running 2 starter solenoids.
good luck

no worries, mate. the only reason i posted the link to that thread was that i had just replied to it, and it had a schematic, which i thought might help (im not one to get ticked and tell people to search, since the search function works about half the time anyhow).
how is it going? does it work yet? good luck.
