sorry but stupid me took out my starter awhile ago to get tested, now i finally got it tested and the test was good, but now i forgot where all the wires connect to,

if someone can please send or post a pic showing where all the wire go, this would really help me in reinstalling the starter,

last thing i want to do is screw anything up because i connected the wires in the wrong spot.

basically i forgot where the positive and negative wires from the battery connect to

thank you

Download the factory service manual for the '73 (resources tab on top) and take a look.

another question i have, and maybe this could be the problem, is that when i went to tighten the the bolt on the solenoid (the one with the positive wire from the battery connected to it) the whole top piece now rotates and moves, could this cause a problem from the solenoid? the parts that rotate when tightening is the whole top piece, where it has the one bolt that the positive connects to, the other bolt that has the black wire running from the starter motor, and the connector that connects to the black wire

Because all my wiring n voltage readings seem to be fine, based on the manual u told me to download, btw thank you very much, very helpful

If you think you may have a short in the solenoid it may be worth remove the screws and taking a look inside. There should have been a jam-nut on the post to keep it from spinning.
