What year is it?
Are you talking about a slave type solenoid mounted away from the starter or the one that is mounted on the top of the starter?

Is the slave mounted away. Its bolted to the engine its self.

You should have a solenoid that looks like the one below. There should be 2 bolts in the mounting feet of the solenoid (top holes in picture). Usually a universal socket, open end wrench, or crowsfoot wrench will get into them without too much difficulty.
