Alright, originally I had a 305 tbi in my 88 firebird (automatic trans). IV built a Carb 350 dropped it into place. Installed,my Holley fuel regulator with return. Installed a vacume advance dizzy.

IV hooked up all my grounds n such. BUT my starter won't engage, roll over or click. It simply does NOTHING! I have full power down at my starter. I tried jumping it from the pos. To the negative post i assume its called (the one with the purple wire) with a screwdriver but it dose not arc or spark. If I touch the positive and touch the starter body it arcs n sparks. I also tried hooking up two aligator clamps and a switch inbetween the positive and negative of the starter. STILL NOTHING! (and yes I had full power at both ends of the toggle when I did that)

Before I even installed this starter I tested it on the bench by jumping it and it worked fine!

All my lights stero windows attena ec. Is all working fine

Hoping somebody has an idea why my starter won't do anything?????

Well turns out it was the solenoid. I pulled the starter bench ties Tested it again.... nothing, so i beat it with a hammer... lol it worked again rolling over twice then nothing. SO replaced the starter, turned the key over n all to my surprise it started!
