One way to ad power is to wire the solenoid is to wire a relay to drive the starter. #12 wire from the battery to power the relay and 12 to the starter. Trigger it with the wire from switch. What kind of 350 do you have that is externally balanced?

I'll check my wiring, I thought I upped it in size, but I'll double check.

My 350 is an 87 model. I just did some research and it seems like in.85/86, they started externally balancing them, but they also say these are one piece rear main seal and I thought I had a two piece. Hmmmm....

My machinist looked back over notes and said it was externally balanced, now you have me wondering. What happens if it is internally and I balance the flex plate and the balancer?
