Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Eddie had it right. The starter
wires somehow made it to the exhaust manifold and melted together to the
manifold (I can be such a bonehead sometimes). I was on my way to the parts
store to get some wire when the UPS guy showed up with my new engine harness
from Year One. I'm pretty excited to rewire the engine bay. My old wiring
is so butchered that I don't recognize the attachment connectors on the new
harness. I'll figure it out when I lay them side by side, but I doubt the
colors will be the same.
My next question. The new wiring harness is for an original setup. I have
an HEI distrubuter. What do I need to do to make it work?

You replaced the starter but not the solenoid? Are you using a stock
starter, a remote solenoid, or a mini starter?

Hello all. I'm new to the list. I have a 66 Malibu Convertable with a
slight problem. I replaced my starter and it worked fine. I started it
up
3 or 4 times after the installation. Today I went to start it and the
started would not disengage. It just kept on trying to start itself. I'm
thinking the solinoid. Any thoughts or similar experiences?
Thanks
judd
