70 Duster Starter Relay Voltages

Rustedwrench said

With the battery fully charged and the original starter in the car put the negative voltmeter probe on a clean metal spot on the engine then:

What is the voltage with the positive meter probe on the large starter terminal from the battery with the key off?

What is the voltage with the positive meter probe on the large starter terminal from the battery with the key on in the crank position?

What is the voltage with the positive meter probe on the small starter terminal from the start relay with the key on in the crank position?

This all assumes the engine is not physically seized, that is, can be turned by hand.

I have to put the original starter back in as neither the old nor new one is currently in the car.

My original data showed with the battery fully charged and the key in the crank position I had 11.40V on the large starter terminal. I can't find the measurement for the small starter terminal.

With the key off the large starter terminal had 12.60V on it.

Sorry for the incomplete data but I'll redo it when I put the starter back in.

Just for fun today I took data without the starter in.
Key off Large starter terminal = 12.55V, Small starter terminal 0V
Key on Large starter terminal = 12.32V, Small starter terminal = 12.00V
