be located in the rear compartment. Strip approximately 1/4
inch of insulation from both leads, and solder a round termi-
nal lug to each lead.
Passing cable through firewall. Locate the point in the
firewall (the wall separating the engine and passenger com-
partment) where electrical cables feed through. This is usu-
ally somewhere near the steering shaft entrance and will
usually have a cable bundle with a rubber grommet encir-
cling it to keep water and wind out.
Feed the power leads from the passenger compartment side
of the through the rubber grommet to the engine compart-
ment side. If the hole is too tight, carefully make a small cut
in the rubber to enlarge the hole so that the leads can fit
through.
Mounting the solenoid. Next, locate a point inside the
engine compartment where the priority solenoid can be
mounted. Find a flat place, preferably with at least one
existing bolt installed (such as those used for cable stays and
various brackets) that can double as a mounting point for
the solenoid bracket. Most of these bolts tighten into pre-
threaded holes in the engine compartment. Using one will
save you from having to drill holes and to affix washers and
nuts.
If no suitable mounting holes/bolts are present, you may
need to drill a hole for the mounting bracket. Before doing
so, check the opposite side of the metal through which you
intend to drill, ensuring that no motors, valves, or other
components there might be penetrated and damaged. Also
ensure sufficient wrench room (or knuckle space) to affix a
washer and nut to the mounting bolt you intend to install.
Connecting leads. Remove both leads from the battery
when connecting cables to and from the solenoid. Place a
