I  replaced the almost non-existent engine bay wiring harness with a  Clarks
wiring harness in the engine bay of my 66 convertible. Does anybody  know if
it includes a resistive wire for the ignition? I am asking because  I have a
Pertronix ignition system and if memory serves me correctly it  requires a
full 12 volts.

It seems to work fine so I am just  curious.
It should be there. It is completely embedded into the stock harness. It  
should go from the main body plug to the starter feed plug where it will be  
crimped to another wire which feeds the coil. You could remove that one  specific 
plug at the main body harness and add another wire to feed the  coil directly. 
That will feed 12 volts (less some loss through the  wiring system) to the 
Ignitor and the coil. Others may have differing opinions  on whether that is the 
best idea. But it worked fine for me for a number of  years.
