Remote starter hookup

[kjphilippona]

This should have been one of the first things i did, adjust the valve timing !. The engine ran ok with a few minor fixes, so i decided the suspension was tops on my list to get in order. I had found an earlier post by one member on the adjustment of the valve, pictures and all. He listed all the tools needed, including a remote starter and how to hook it up. This may me simple to some but for me i would rather do it correct instead of damaging my old car or my self. Can someone help me with this ? What needs to be dis-connected and where do you hook the wires to ? PS i have been using the search engine for the last hour and have not found anything !

You don't have to disconnect anything. You're just hooking up a new switch in parallel with the existing switch. Here's an old thread that discusses slight variations.

Thanks MikeW :classic:

Why a remote starter??

Instead of people seeing an empty car starting by itself, I'd rather have people see me in the car smiling as it turns over with a little soot out the tailpipe, maybe.

There is more than a little soot in the tailpipes.............

It's not the "whoosh," it's the "BRAAAP"

apparently you haven't ever adjusted your valves. The remote starter is a major improvement when doing the valves.

Obviously, he's confusing a remote starter with a remote start system:stupid:

I'm with Sblake. You are looking for a hand held trigger that jumps the starter excite wire (spade on solenoid) with the primary wire to bump the engine over without using the key. ( a rich man's screwdriver--those who know, know) They are 8-9 bucks at any parts house and come with aligator clips on the wires. Takes all of 8 seconds to hook up. Be sure to leave the key off or the car may surprise the hell out of you and start. Pulling the coil wire is a good idea.

The OP's question was actually answered in post #2 and acknowledged in post #3. The inane comment in post #4 is what lead to all of these superfluous posts......as usual.
