I used the Powermaster Ultratorque starter PT# 9406 250# torque on my 427 High Riser. It has adjustable clocking and shims. Works fantastic. Tom Nolan

Re: 427/428 ford fe's
Steve&Horace Johnson,
Well I bought a Powermaster#9406 and pulled my 20 year old Tilton Super Starter out of my Fairlane race car& installed the powermaster and now my starter relay in the back of my car just clicks when I push the toggle switch. I'm using a Painless Wiring toggle module for all my electrical functions. My tilton seemed to be ok although a friend said it could be pulling to many amps. All I did was hook my battery cable to the powermaster am I missing something? Lee |

Re: 427/428 ford fe's
Starter relay should be really close to the starter. Like maybe on the firewall. Proper size battery cable. Always suspect anthing that says painless. Their switches are not up to my standards.

Re: 427/428 ford fe's
I guess I am confused with hooking up my powermaster as the tilton starter I removed only has the battery cable hooked to it. So what do I hook the terminal marked switch on the selinoid to? Guess a picture or drawing would help.
#4 on the instruction sheet that came with it plainly says( ATTACH BATTERY CABLE AND SWITCH WIRE. The switch wire should be capable of handling 25A. Switch wire to where? Thanks Lee |

Re: 427/428 ford fe's
You should have your main starter cable that runs from the solenoid down to the starter. That goes to the main post for the starter motor but then you should also have another smaller terminal for the starter solenoid that's on the starter itself. Just take a #10 size wire with a ringed terminal end on it and jumper between the two post. Now when you hit the key and it pulls in the factory solenoid on the inner fender well it will also energize the solenoid at the starter and pull the starter in to spin the motor.
Hope that helps.

Re: 427/428 ford fe's
If you have a remote solenoid, the new starter also has a solenoid. The S terminal is the solenoid on the starter. Add a jumper wire from the S terminal on the starter to the terminal on the starter that the power cable is on. This will be like placing a screwdriver across the start and power terminals on a remote starter solenoid, but will be permanent.
