Lost photo, forgot where wires go

Can someone do me a big favour and take a clear shot of the wiring running to the starter on a big block auto with carb?

I cant find any in my collection.

Just refitting and I cant remember how the wiring is routed and located.

Its from the battery and across the auto box going to back of engine.

Ta.

It goes over the Transmission, and picks up the solenoid pick wire from the ignition, then it wedges itself between the
Starter and the Exhaust on the right side of the starter.



Pick wire showing in Yellow shield and the Main Power in to the left of it (round ring connector.)


Barely can see that the wires are routed under the Exhaust Manifold and the Starter Housing.


Finger pointing to Pick wire.


Only gratutious shot I have of the big red lead going from the battery to the starter…


If you haven't installed a Heat Soak Relay, it would be a good time to do it.

 

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

I even placed the heat shielding plug wire cover over the wire to prevent the possibility of heat destroying the wire.

Thank you Briano1234!

Sorry it took a while to get back, been ill.

Yes, I already did the mod, just didn't look right when I reinstalled everything.

Still on my '3 week rebuild' [3rd year!]

Taking a while to get everything cleaned and painted before reassembly.
