Re: [Amc-list] Starter solenoid conversion ???

" You have to use the solenoid on the starter. You have a Delco (GM) starter. The fender mounted solenoids are for Autolite (Ford) style starters. 
" 
" You may as well take the starter to an auto electric shop and have it rebuilt when you pull it. I'm sure it will last a long time with just replacing the solenoid, but if you plan on keeping the car may as well have it rebuilt (or at least checked out good) while it's out.

"   The starter solenoid on my 1965 American finally died yesterday.  Is there a way to convert to the later model, fender mounted solenoid without haing to pull the starter, or do I need to order the OEM style that is currently piggy back on the starter ?

if your american has a 232 you could switch to the ford starter; amc
did that in '69 and it's a bolt-on swap for the '64-8 delco afaik.  i
don't know what wiring issues are involved.
