so im in the middle of my motor rebuild and im switching to a pa performance starter with a solenoid on the starter. the instructions say to move the wires to the same side then run the trigger wire, but since im planning on cleaning up the bay really well, and painting it, do you know of a cleaner way to get all those random wires stacked on the solenoid onto something standard? im moving the battery to the trunk too.

Thanks!

When you switch to a mini starter, that solenoid becomes nothing more than an oversized relay. You can replace it with a standard 30A automotive relay and hide it somewhere in addition to using some kind of insulated post for everything connected to the solenoid that needs constant 12v.

I have a diagram detailing how I wired the relay for the starter. I'll dig it up later.
