Sorry, bad explanation…
the pink ignition wire goes from main harness in dash, I assume ignition switch, out to ballast resistor, where I cut it and plugged the run coming from ignition switch into one side of ballast resistor…this part of circuit up to ballast resistor gets up to 14.6 v when car is running.
on the other side of ballast resistor, I connected the rest of the pink wire that continues out to +coil. This side is 12.3 when running. This side also has the solenoid bypass wire, which apparently gives extra voltage while cranking, it comes from “I” lug on starter solenoid and shares the plug on the coil side of the ballast resistor.
the picture included has a few unfinished wires, so just follow the pretty colors. Lol. The only wire on the +coil is the Pink ignition which was soldered into a 71 engine harness to become red/green, plugged in with yellow post plug on coil. On the - side of coil, one wire, black, goes nto distributor.
the only other way extra wires could add voltage is the solenoid bypass wire (yellow)…
also here’s a AAW schematic. I am using the box with optional points configuration.
I guess my question is, how much voltage should make it to points and coil during run?
