Starter Solenoid Removal

garvinoMember

I just finished reading through four pages of posts about starter solenoids and have not come up with a conclusive answer to my question.

I have a mini high torque starter with a solenoid for my 1974 Pantera. Can I remove the solenoid off the firewall, extend my main positive cable to the starter, and extend the small red wire (I think it is a 14 gauge) off the old solenoid to the new starter solenoid and do away with the other wires without any issues? I was worried that this may cause problems with the ignition switch? I have read that these are a trouble area for voltage issues in our cars?

I have looked at the wiring diagram and do not see any other major issues with this modification but I am also not an electrician.

Any opinions? Thanks.
