<VV> 12ga red/pertronix

[Andy Clark]

We discussed this on VV several months ago. I believe the consensus was that
you need to tap into the 18ga pink or purple wire at the engine harness
disconnect, on the body side. In some harnesses this wire is pink and in
some (I have 2) it's purple. In any case, it's the 18ga pink or purple wire
right next to the 12ga purple one. This wire has +12V on it during cranking
as well as when the engine is running.

> Bill,I believe that wire is the alternator/battery hot...while it will
give you 12v ,it's always "on",not switched or fused...the 'ign hot' to the
coil should be 18ga,and it sounds like yours has the resistor wire run from
the main harness plug ,from the "ign' terminal on the key switch,to the
coil,with the '12v start' yellow from the starter solenoid in the harness
,in parallel,different from 65/66's where the resistor wire is  connected at
the starter 2-wire plug tothe yellow coil feed...Tom..//
