How To Upgrade Your Ford Starter 2 Ways

In this video I show you how to upgrade from the old Ford single wire starter with the divorced solenoid, to the new Ford starter with the attached solenoid, two different ways. One way is easy and requires running one small new wire. The other way is a little more involved, but it can completely upgrade your Fords electrical system. I also go over why this starter upgrade would benefit anyone with an older Ford starter. I hope this info saves you some time, money, and makes your Ford start better! Thank you for watching!
