1981 pickup.........starter issue

where is the solenoid on this truck?

I'm only hearing a click when i turn the key. I turn key off on off on off on then eventually the points make connection.

Any ideas?

Thanks

selenoid is part of the starter ..

sounds like your starter contacts .. ~ 50C ea.
labor is the most , but more people have more time then money ..


pull the started and replace the contacts .. should cure the problem
