i just install a remote starter solenoid, now i hear some type of starter noise (like the starter not disengaging soon enough). This is a lt1 starter with a t56 trans. is this common with the remote solenoid?
That LT1 starter is probably one of them permanent magnet type starters. they act like a generator when they spin and the current they generate powers the solenoid keeping it closed longer than it should. try removing the jumper and running a separate start wire to the start wire on the remote solenoid and see if that stops the run-on.
You've got it set up like the Ford with a jumper. Some brands of permanent magnet starters have this problem, some brands don't. The instructions for the cheapo one i got said not to wire it with a jumper for this reason. I myself, wouldn't take the chance that I would have to replace a starter and/or flexplate/flywheel.
