Starter

[Reborn84f150]

Hello everybody, I have a 1984 F150 with 4.9 L. And I converted it from three speed automatic to a five speed manual and my starter went. I pulled the starter off and there was two wires on it. My starter has a place for wire. Can somebody please tell me where I should put the second wire.

First off, if you changed from automatic to manual you need a new starter, because an automatic starter will NOT disengage from a flywheel.
The starter will eat itself as soon as the engine is running.

Second, I'm assuming that you are talking about the engine ground cable.
The ground cable goes from the battery to under one of the starter attaching bolts

Also, Gary will chide you for not following instructions and making an introductory post in the New Members Start Here section, like the confirmation email you were sent had a direct link.

Hopefully, in a week, when we move this platform to InVision this will become completely redundant because the system will be automated and new members will be sandboxed until they agree to the TOU and complete their profile.
