pretty much you just have to run a small trigger wire off of the solonoid to the starter, and flip the power wire to the other side... its been a while

When i had my wires mixed up on the solenoid my starter stayed engaged a little after i started it. Mine is different since the aftermarket alarm is on side of the solenoid and everything else is on teh other side. Do you have an alarm?
