While re-wiring my truck I found a wire running from the pos side of the coil directly to the side terminal of the starter switch.

The truck runs with the wire there and without, so for the time being it has been removed.

Any idea what this wouldve been installed for?

Thank you,
Jason

supplies batt voltage to the coil when the starter is engaged - otherwise voltage is supplied thru the ignition resistor and is less than 12v - will work fine w/o that wire until there's a condition that makes the motor reluctant to start, when it won't - wires w/ unknown purposes are everywhere grin it's a conspiricy to make life seem complicated!! rip'em all out!
