I recently bought a 87 with a AMC 4.2 and the previous owner destroyed the wiring in it. Removed a bunch of things including starter relay and starter solenoid and computer . I have got power back to key switch to run systems like gauges and ignition. There is no crank function. Does anyone know what wire color is crank wire from key. They installed a 4 prong solenoid.
 
welcome to the forum. autozone has the wiring diagram. also chris just posted a a list of manual on forum that can help you. good luck and keep us posted.
 
Thank you I looked there. I have all data and Mitchell on demand also. All of them show wiring with relay and solenoid. My harness has been chopped and none of those wires are still in it. If I can find the wire that comes down from the key I can run a new crank wire.
