hi all, i'm new to this so thanks in advance for your patience! I am having starter problems in my '72 which I believe are the result of a dead starter relay.

Based on that assumption, is it better to try and revert back to the no-relay wiring? This was my first thought, but in all honestly I have no idea what the original wiring is - maybe just replace the relay and be done with it? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

replace your starter solenoid. This will solve the problem once and for all. you will need to remove the starter, then get rid of the relay.
Years of the solenoid arcing as it makes contact has built up a nice layer of electrically resistant crud on the contacts.
PM me if you need additional info. Done this on many a 914.... rather easy.
