Any help would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,871 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,871 | What year truck? The ceramic-shielded resistor was only used for a short time, then they went to a nickel-chrome alloy resistance wire from the ignition switch to the coil. "bypass" voltage is provided either from a second (copper) wire from the switch to the coil called "Ign 2" which is hot with the key in the start position, or by a bypass wire from a small terminal at the side of the stomp-start switch to the coil (+) terminal.
