Engine start

[RAYSSUPERDELUX]

Hi gents-


I've just installed a flathead and drive train in my '48 frame. What
minimum temporary wiring do I need to start this thing?

Starter solenoid and the wiring to power it and voltage to the coil.

Yep, mine's still like that. Big fat, (stiff) 2/0 wire from electric supply house on battery, new push button solenoid from NAPA, a few extra grounds scattered around and a hot wire to the coil.

Depending on the coil you are using I would include a ballast resistor. Some of this is going to also depend on what components you are using. The starter solenoid can require power or a ground to energize it.
