 mr, Loco & Don: the logic box scenario has been written up many times, even back to the late '70s. Yes, if you're seat belt isn't fastened, etc., the juice won't flow through tp the starter(the #10 gauge white with red stripe). So cutting one of the two wires and shorting it to the other bypasses the logic box. Also, many have complained of the constant buzzing from the beeper there; pulling/cutting the purple #4 wire will keep any power out of the logic box(plus you can now use that wire for a radio/whatever, as it is ALWAYS "ON"--the bottom/3rd fuse in the fuse box).
As for the starter not engaging all the time; years ago I bench tested these and found the pinion gear would not go ALL the way to the end. If you pull of the solenoid and pull out the iron rod with its extension that engages the top of the bendix, you will see that welding about 1/8" on the end of the opening that engages the pinion lever will alleviate this.
btw, if anyone still needs OEM starters, I still have about 5 NOS ones.
hope this helps, bruce
