You have not stated what model Ford you have. Do you know that an original Ford dash starter button connects the small single solenoid terminal to ground when pressed. The solenoid shown in your pic is not original Ford 1930s. Solenoids dont care about POS or NEG ground but they do care about voltage 6 or 12v. Check your starter button switch and see how many terminals or wires are on the back of it. Report back. Regards, Kevin.
