Re: [BaadAssGremlins] 77 gremlin solenoid question

Thanks Terry I also got this from the amc-list:

"Eddie,
I drove my 77 Gremlin to work today so I went out in
the parking lot and checked the wiring.

I have an aftermarket solenoid I think that has no
marking on the posts for S or I.

Looking down on the solenoid from the passenger side
fender I have a light blue (with black tracer)
connected to the right side pin post and a light green
(with white tracer) on the left side pin post. "

I asked Joe Fulton and guess will ask you also, there is a "U" shaped connector made of rubber that holds both plugs together on the front of the solenoid. Are your's if you have any, is the "U" facing upwards towards sky or downwards facing ground?

The reason I ask this is (besides colors of wires!) is that this one was facing upwards which strikes me as strange, it looks like it 'should' be facing downward as to not cause stress on the harness.

I looked at my 78 which I thought would be different and it is. Anyway the front wire is the same as yours dark green with white tracer. The back one is red with a orange tracer.

I have a perplexing question. On a 77 Gremlin I just got in, the book shows
a "light blue with tracer" wire to the "I" side of the solenoid; and a
"light blue" wire to the "S" side of the solenoid. If you follow the book
illustration in the 77 TSM, the 'light blue' wire becomes a "dark green with
tracer" farther down.

On the Gremlin itself however neither wire to the front of the solenoid
looks blue; one is dark green with white tracer, the other is dark green
with black tracer. The two wires plugs have this U shaped plastic brace
between them.

My question is does someone have a 77 Gremlin they could look at, or know
for sure, how this contraption fits on there, considering what the 77
original book shows is not what the original wiring harness on this 77
shows.
