Need some help with a couple of questions....just got done with the rebuild of my 3.9. I have two positive wires coming from the stud on the firewall...one goes to the starter, where does the other go? It's pretty short, but for the life of me I can't find where it went originally.
2nd question, I started up the motor....let it run at around 1000 for a minute or so, then around 1500-2000 for about 10 minutes...it got good and warm and I am getting a solid 25-30psi oil pressure and good drips of oil from the rocker assy. For kicks I put it into reverse and drive and I'm getting a horrible noise....it sounds like a diesel engine idling, what the heck could that be? Tranny? Engine? Like I said, the noise is only there when under load in drive or reverse. I'm not a pro mechanic, but I've done rebuilds before and took my time with this one (about 4 months), so I'm 99% sure I did everything correctly during assembly.
Thanks again folks.
