So, please correct me if Im wrong. I am also triying to adapt a newer harness for my project. under dash wiring was removed by PO.
I am working on a 1956 chevy truck. 12 volt 235 with foot starter and a pertronix ignition. the ignition switch I have is from a newer (80s?) model chevy van with the following positions Acc-off-on-start. the back of the switch has Batt-ign-sol-acc-G1-G2.
As I understand it.
There is no wire from the ignition switch to the starter. It gets what it needs from the battery and your foot does the rest.
There is a wire from Ign to + on the coil.
Basicly power on/off to the coil is all the ignition switch is used for when starting the truck?
Am I correct, close or way off base?
Thanks any help or guidance on this issue.
