Gen 2 starter in a Gen 1 question

[pitaSHO]

OK, so I've had a Gen 2 starter in my 91 for a while, but I wasn't happy with the way my battery was wired, so I re-did it. Now I have no power to the car. I ran power from the battery (in the trunk) to the starter; negative bolts on the stud on the back side of the starter and the possitive to the solenoid. Then there is a pigtail wire that runs from a small stud on the solenoid to the relay on the firewall. Then on the other side of the solenoid is the wire that runs to the fuse box. What am I missing?

Are you running two solenoids?

sounds like the wire from the starter solenoid to the fuse box is on the wrong post of the solenoid - they both need to be on the one that the battery connects to, that is always hot.

Thanks. I'll try switching the lead at the upper solenoid.
