Wiring diagram shows a white /orange wire from ign to R terminal on the solenoid changing to green and continuing to the coil. (In actuality the wire on my truck is not W/O)
My questions is is the w/o wire supposed to be a resistance wire? Do I need a lower voltage to the coil? I have no problem adding a ballast resistor, if necessary. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Check the voltage at the pos term of the coil with the key on but the engine not running, the points closed or a jumper wire from the neg term or the term on the dist. to ground. It should be about 7-9 volts.
