Bartamos, running new electrical in my truck isn’t my strong suit; however, I am having my brother who is knowledgeable help me. We had that one question as we were re-wiring the engine this weekend. I did replace the generator with an 10SI alternator, 12v coil, 12v bulbs all around, I have a voltage drop to attach to the fuel gauge so I can keep the original fuel gauge, and replaced all other accessories such as heater, horn, etc., to 12v.
Do I still need a ballast resistor? Also the wiring harness I have from painless wiring has the wires for the 12v coil, a MIDI fuse, the wire to attach to the starter and a wire for the starter solenoid. So i would attached the starter solenoid wire to the side terminal of the starter switch you mentioned, correct?
