'59 Plymouth Forum

I just bought a remote starter switch so I can more easily adjust my valve lash. Unfortunately I don't know where to hook up the leads. The manufacturer just told me to refer to the service manual. Does anyone have experience with an OTC Remote starter that can help me out?

I don't know much about that,try googling it or even you tube.There may be something similar, Mark

P.S. take the spark plugs out and index the motor using the crank shaft pulley bolt/socket and large ratchet.just A thought, Mark

You want to connect one lead from the switch to the starter relay, where the cable from the positive side of your battery runs, and the other to the the thin wire that comes from the ignition switch to the relay - not the thick power cables! When you push the button, it will be as if you turned the key to the full right to crank the engine. Of course, if you want the engine to start, the key has to be in the ignition position. Oh, and release the button once it starts! Just as you would release the key.

I guess you could kill the ignition by pulling the coil to distributor wire - or wait for Dick to wake up and give his answer, I think he goes to bed at 6:30

Yawn, it's called a power nap. Then I wake up around 11pm and go to bed. Another way is one lead on the positive post of the battery and one lead on the starter. Key off. Good for setting points also.
