At the left side of the photograph above, a remote Ford-type starter solenoid is shown. Connection at the left side goes to battery, connection at the right goes to starter, in this case to a high torque starter.

The small terminals are the connections to the ignition switch and to the coil; the coil connection is used to bypass the inline coil resistor during starting.

at the left siede of the photograph a [[Starter]] solenoid is shown.

Connection at the right goes to starter, in this case to the solenoid of a [[hi-torque starter]]

==GM solenoid==
 +
The GM starter-mounted solenoid can be renewed if it becomes sluggish. The terminals inside the solenoid become burned and worn over time, but these terminals can be removed, rotated 180 degrees, and reinstalled to provide the internal contact disc of the solenoid brand new terminal contacts. This, along with cleaning off the contact disc itself, will give new life to a tired solenoid.
  
The small [[terminal]]s are the connections to the key and to the [[coil]]; the last one is used to short cut the series [[resistor]] to the coil during starting, as patented by [[Kettering]].
