If it is a 6 cylinder then it is known as one of the two following: 300 I6 or 4.9L I6. Can use either or. I'll try to find that article which I initially talked about. If the original starter was a big bulky thing wothout the solenoid on it then the new one with the solenoid on it isn't wired properly if the fenderwell solenoid doesn't like it...

This thread has nice pictures and detailed instructions, as well as links to places with bigger wiring diagrams, instructions and whatnot.

Damn, brother. With all due respect, that looks like WAY more work than I want to go into. Way too much confusion in that article to filter through, but lots of good diagrams so thanks for that.

No, I think slapping a stock starter on there is pretty much the only way that I want to go. If it was good enough for Ford in 91, it's good enough for me now!

Actually the wiring is a lot simpler than you think, its just one extra battery cable. You have two positive cables from the battery one to the fender solenoid and one straight to the positive of the starter solenoid. Then you have the ignition wire from the fender solenoid to the starter solenoid. I just replaced my cables yesterday, so i can post pics in the morning when there is light and show you what i mean.

Here is the basic wiring diagram, you just need to add the wires from the relay to the starter solenoid.

Hell, I'm willing to consider just about anything. Although this starter which I was considering doesn't appear to have a solenoid:

Whereas, this one - "same" part number - DOES!


Pics would be appreciated fo' sho! Thanks my man!

Sylver, what sort of wire/connector would I need for that?

sylver91

Maybe 4ft of 4gauge battery cable and a long string of 14 gauge wire with a female connector, a stud connector (doughnut style) and some copper battery connectors to crimp on the ends. Ohh and a new battery terminal so you can bolt it all together, in total cost me less than 30$

Ill post some pics in the morning showing exactly what i did. But its the simplest starter wiring ever.And if you want you can go with stock, I'm just saying its more than possible to get a 92+ starter.

Just make sure you get either the starter for a manual, or an automatic.

Just in case you were itching and restless to see how its set up here is a rough idea how its all put together. With pictures

So the first pictures shows what the relay will look like, now there is that big ugly black rubber that goes to it (ignore it, its the wires inside it we want.) now there is the cable on the right of the solenoid, that a battery cable that goes directly to the battery.

The connector on the left is a smaller ignition wire, that goes to terminal "S" on the starter solenoid. The terminal "B" on the starter solenoid is a battery cable that also goes directly to the battery. Pretty simple huh? So to recap, two positive cables connected to a terminal and one small ignition wire is all you need.

Online pictures don't always accurately reflect the correct part. I don't see the need to add another solenoid to the system unless the starter itself is a good upgrade.
