"No offense meant, but you don't have to buy any "kits" for something that simple."

I prefer to source my own components, relays, fuse panels, junctions, wire, cable, etc...and put the system together as I like. Forget finding anything worth using at the typical auto parts stores.

"3 schools of thought when it comes to wiring GM starters."

We prefer #2. Just one cable to the starter and nothing is hot unless the starter is engaged. The solenoid can be mounted at the firewall out of harm's way or inside with a pass through or quick connect.

Pay attention to the ground circuit. It's at least as important as the power side.

Thanks for the additional feedback. I'm still working on installing the engine, trans, etc, so I haven't really focused on the electrical yet. I have done everything in building this car from a rustbucket to a stocker, except paint and machine work, but for some reason the electrical part is my least favorite. anyway, it's a 70 challenger, 383, denso mini-starter and alternator.
