Very good simple explanation video working on a 77 trying to figure out where a couple of wires go on a starter tour obvious the other two have no coloring left

It would really help if you pointed out where the R, S and battery terminals are located in the electrical system. Enjoy your vids. Hop

Cool SR-71 in the background!

[@TheWhatisright]

Agree, love the SR-71. In fact, most of my adult life was around Aircraft in the Air Force.

@@TheWhatisright Thank you for your service. I enjoy your Corvette videos and hope to own one someday.

Another simple but informative video. Thanks again and keep those C3 video's coming. (yes I am a little biased towards the C3 since I have the 69) :-)

[@TheWhatisright]

Thank you Paul. Same here, a little biased towards the C3 Corvettes.

Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work pumping out those videos for ding dongs like me who don’t know exactly what to do. Also do plan on doing another project car?

[@TheWhatisright]

Thank you. I would love to do a early 60s corvette. Of course, my dream car is a 1963 Corvette.

Love your site, I've already learned so much already about my C3. Right now the right rear makes an terrible sound, only when driving. Not engine and shifts great. Any past experience?

Hello and thank you for your video… They are all very helpful… I have a small conundrum with my 77 C3 and that is trying to figure out what size of nut are on the solenoid for the two small ones… The 5/16 is too small and 3/8 is too big … the 8 mm seems too small and the 9 mm seems too big… Would you happen to have any suggestions. Thank you

[@TheWhatisright]

Can you send me a photo of the ones you are referring to?

What is the yellow wire for? One wire goes to the battery, the purple wire I believe goes to the ignition key what is the yellow wire for?

[@TheWhatisright]

the 20awg yellow (braided cloth wire) goes to the "R"un terminal ("+" terminal on the ignition coil).

@@TheWhatisright yellow wire goes to the ignition coil. On startup, ignition runs on 12v. Once started, it goes back down to about 9.
