Push button Starter

[daveymc29]

Because I installed air conditioning I find it quite inconvenient to use the foot starter and am asking for guidance in installing a pushbutton and solenoid type starter like the ford V8 finally came up with.What is available? parts numbers if known.

Haven't been able to locate the ad?

I venture you are 12 volt! I have no part numbers but had some pictures that may get you and other started on an answer. I venture there are some folks who have actually done what you are asking. The 12 volt coil wiring is optional but could help in cold weather.

I substituted in a "modern" ignition switch, one that has the ignition circuit and the spring return Starter postion, in the place of the Key Switch on the yellow wire in the above diagram. Just put it in the dash where the stock switch now is. The stock ignition wiring goes through that switch to the indicated terminal. The wire to the selonid comes off the terminal so marked on the switch. Fairly easy set up.

My starter works by pulling on a cable under the dash. That activates a lever on the starter switch to make the contact. It must be something aftermarket but it is the only one I have seen.

I also have a modern ignition switch with a start position. I bought a kit from a a guy in the Dallas club that made them. It had all the wires, solenoid, cables, etc. Easy install. Works like a charm.
