Ok, as you most know, I'm doing a 200 to 250 swap. Everything's basically done, except D2 installation and Cutting some of the underhood stuff away for clearance.
Here's my problem with the D2. Have it wired correctly according to all the wiring diagrams posted here, but maybe I'm missing something.
We get it to start.....but the starter stays engaged....which is not good hehe. Seems like its keeping a charge somehow.
This is a 77 250 engine and D2, so there's a few small differences in the diagrams. I originally had the 69 solenoid hooked up, so everything hooked up directly like the diagrams, then went out and got the 77 solenoid which doesn't have the "I" bolt in front.
Hooked up the red to the inside of the connection that used to hook up to the "I", and the white (which is listed optional anyway) to the right side bolt, which also has a wire directly to the starter( Big bolt, not on "S" side of solenoid. The red gets power in the "on" position, and white in the start position, like all the tech sheets mention, but once started, the starter stays on, even when removing the big wire from the bolt on the solenoid to the starter.
Other possible thoughts were Tranny is bad. Flywheel is from 77, as is torque converter and bellhousing, but tranny is from 200. Same C4 as from the 77 (which I have, was just easier install).
Its probably something really simple and stupid we're overlooking. It always is.
Anyone have any ideas or run into this before??
