Hi all, while I've got a lot of stuff cleared out from under the dash at the moment I'd like to bypass the pink resistor wire and run a full 12V out to my coil/dist. and use a ceramic resistor in the engine bay as I'm installing the Crane XRi conversion when I get back on the road and don't trust the 40+yr. old resistor wire.
After reading this post, http://www.stangfix.com/testforum/index.php/topic,1629.0.html , I see that I still need power through the resistor wire to juice the VR. I am using a 100A alt. with VR which has worked flawlessly for 6+mos. and I like the almost stock look of it and dont' mind the ext. VR. I switched to the higher amp for future upgrades and peace of mind.
1. If I still need the resistor wire to be fed voltage do I just wire from the post on back of the switch to feed the coil/dist?
2. Do I then just disconnect and seal off the old wire to the coil or what is the easiest/cleanest solution (trying to minimize engine wires)?
Will I avoid all these issues as long as I don't paint my car :gobp?
Thanks, Jon
