DISCONNECT SWITCHES
Most sanctioning bodies require an emergency disconnect switch. Be sure to use a heavy duty switch
that is capable of handling high current. Some starters may pull over 700 amps while cranking. Most
disconnect switches are rated at continuous and intermittent amps. Make sure to use a switch that
exceeds your starting and electrical system requirements.
R-TERMINAL
On older vehicles, mostly with breaker points, there was an extra terminal and wire on the original starter
(the MSD DynaForce Starter does not have this terminal). This extra terminal served as a ballast resistor
bypass. When the starter was cranking, 12 volts would be supplied on this terminal and directly to
the coil positive terminal for starting assistance.
Most ignition systems today do not need this terminal, however, if your ignition has no voltage when
cranking you can wire a system. Connect a 10A/250V diode in-line with the motor side of the solenoid.
The banded end of the diode goes away from the starter. This allows current to go to the ignition coil
during cranking and will not feed back to the starter while the engine is running.
