I bought a remote trigger to turn the engine over so i don't have to go in and out of the cab. Can anyone tell me how to hook up the 2 wires? Im guessing one goes to the only terminal on the starter, where does the other wire attach? Thanks!

If your 32 has a foot starter. I don't think you can use the remote trigger to turn it over.

The remote trigger is designed to be used on a car with a solenoid in the starting circuit. The remote trigger will send the low amperage signal that tells the solenoid to close. That will send the full power to the starter.
Unless your car has a modern engine it does not have a solenoid. The foot switch in the cab closes the high amperage circuit directly.

I use the hand crank handle to turn my 38 engine for precise settings. If I want to use the starter "remotely" I use a length of 1x2 wedged behind the bell housing to pry the foot start linkage forward.

Thanks Keith and everyone for the answer. I wanted to squirt gas down the carb and try to start it, having a problem getting the fuel into the carb. I tested the fuel pump, pumping fine Broo

Use the 1x2 method I mentioned.
