I am installing a new CV Protorque mini starter from Summit and I dont know where I put the bolts from my old one, and the new starter didnt come with any... I was wondering if anyone had an idea of wut the mounting bolts look like, and also how many wires go to the starter... Is it just the big black one?

Yah,
you can replace them with regular ol hardware from the store.
Get grade 8..with 2 grade 8 washers and 2 grade 8 split washers.
They are 1.5 in with a standard coarse thread pitch...
I dont have the exact measurements but when I pass the stroe next tiem I will pipe back in...

Oh yah,
for the starter,
2 go to the high torque mini,
you need to cut the lobes off the old "power wire"
Enlarge the hole to go onto the mini.
Then you need to run the red 10 ga from the spade connector to the starter selonoid.
Then you swap sides with the old power caboe and put the 10 gua on the right side of the selonoid..
get my drift??

ok i think i got it i have only one cable going to my starter and its the big black one from the right bolt on the solinoid. and there is a place for another coonector on the starter.. but i dont remember taking it off? So there are 2 wires to the starter one to the starter solinoid and one where? Im really confused would it be possible to get some pics or something cuz i cant get this thing to crank to do my valve adjustment. I bump the two studs on the solinoid to adjust my rockers... and when i touch the 2 together with the screwdriver it just clicks not cranking? I know its something small.. could someone give me somekinda diagram where things ground to and stuff?
