Need to check OD connections to Solenoid: 63' V8 OD

[jackb]

If anyone is under their car soon, please take a look at the wire connections to the solenoid. There are 3 screws for wire contacts. 2 black and 1 red. I see the 3 screws oriented at 12, 2 and 4 o'clock (roughly) as you look in from the left frame rail. I know the 4 o'clock wire /screw is from/to the governor. I'd like help connecting the red and black from the relay at the cowl. I now have the black wire connected to the 12 o'clock connection, and the red to the 2 o'clock. Look right to you ? The schematic lists wires #4 & #6.....doesn't really help....THX

In my limited experience the terminals on the 'can' are stamped with the numbers. I suggest removing the solenoid, (take out screws, turn 1/4 turn and pull) and thoroughly clean the solenoid to find the numbers.
