It is red... thank you very much. So I did all of this, and the engine still wont turn over. I turn the key (power is getting to the starter) and one click. Nothing else... I'm out of ideas! A friend told me that there is a solenoid near or behind the carb... that sometimes they go bad. Any...

Awesome!! Should it be connected to the main starter bolt?

thanks everyone! I did hook that little one up to the 'S' based on some reading i did immediately after posting this. So after getting the wires hooked up, I found yet a fourth wire with a larger eye on it. I have no idea what its for, or where it comes from. It appears it is coming form the...

Well, I just got an '87 v20 steplift. I am working on getting it running and just realized that my g35 coupe will not tow it;) So, my question is... can i get a v6 Explorer or similar class 4x4, or do I need to step it up to v8? Thanks!

Looks great, Lumber! I just got a v20 and have begun the process also.
