Correct? I would say yes. I have not been in your exact position, so trying to be correct. You said it correctly. You follow the instructions, seeing how it plays with the 47 diagram to accommodate the older non fuse system. What's funny is that you don't need many fuses in a stock 47 because of the mechanical gauges and no accessories. A foot start with alternator. Also to be clear, we don't know if the gauges are fused or not unless we test the harness to see if gauge wire passes thru a fuse. So what we do is follow the instructions whenever possible. They never used to fuse gauges. Don't know what this harness did. It's OK either way.

Not the 47 wiring diagram for powering things like headlights, instead I would use the red headlight power wire #1 and run it to where the Ammeter wire would go to the bottom terminal on the headlight switch, is that correct? If you have the "Solenoid Power" wire done as my description, then I think you would wire the headlight wire #1 per instructions. I don't see any other instruction for ammeter that says otherwise. Instructions say: Headlight power red goes to headlight switch battery terminal.

Also I was reading what you and 400case were discussing on post 1351654.
I also have a pink coil positive #55 wire. harness instructions say it goes into one side of ignition resistor, out the other side of the resistor to the coil positive side.
But I ran the pink coil positive #55 straight to the positive side of the coil, because I have a Pertronix ignitor ignition system and a 12 volt flame thrower coil. I don’t think I need a Ignition resistor. Or do I? Most of the Pertronix instructions say use the ballast resistor if it is applicable. In your case YES. Wire 55 thru ballast. As well as another wire from the starter side terminal to coil positive. They don't now anything about this wire, so you have to provide it.

As for the purple wire, this harness has two. One is purple tachometer #45wire. I don’t think I use that wire. Because I have NO TACHOMETER. Correct? Yes, NOT USED
2nd purple wire is. Purple #32 Ing switch start/starter solenoid. I don’t know if this wire goes to side terminal on starter switch or on the battery stud on starter? NOT USED. This is for an electromagnetic solenoid type starter. Your foot is the solenoid.

Did you install a wire from side terminal to coil positive? What wires/cables do you have from the battery positive post and where do they go? I am testing you smile


Thanks a million bartamos and Stovebolt crew. Don’t feel pressure buddy, I’ve learned a lot, have tons of notes and making colored diagrams.
Love to help people who are eager, hard working and stay in touch. Good job. I know it's good to have help on your first wire job, especially from scratch. You guys here are the future helpers. You are not done yet, though nono smile
