solinoid wiring

[plymjim]

  My solinoid is all done. Shorted out & wouldn't disengage.

Wow, was that exciting! 

Having received a new one from Rock Auto, the question

is can the 2 large lugs be wired to the battery & starter

with the current flow in either direction or are these 

terminals not interchangeable? How would I test for

this if it is necessary? The new one of course is not

marked, If it was it would be in Chinese which I

cannot read. 

This is for my '38 Dodge, converted to 12 volt

with fender mounted solinoid, by thee way.

Thanks for any input.

Just mount it and wire it like your original.  When I converted my 51 to 12v negative ground I just ordered up a later Ford type 12 solenoid and wired it up like the original 6v unit.

I.ll go with that. Thanks for the quick reply.
