Hey everyone,
I've got a 1968 Dodge Dart that had the wiring harness previously modified to run a mopar electronic ignition. I am wiring in an MSD 6AL2 so I'd like to remove any unnecessary wiring from the modified harness.
I've also swapped the automatic transmission for a manual. I noticed my manual transmission has a 2 prong reverse switch while my auto only had a single prong. I bought the wiring harness from the trans switch to the bulkhead but I'm not really sure where it goes from there.
Once I install the MSD6AL2 I am assuming I can remove the ballast resistor that is seen in the picture below? On one of the ballast wires there is a soldered blue and yellow wire which goes to the electronic ignition so I planned to remove that wire and toss that harness. Then I noticed one of the field wires from the alternator (blue wire in the pic coming from the left) goes into that yellow spade connector which then goes into the voltage regulator as well as another wire going into the harness near the ballast. Are these wires I can remove or do I need to keep them? Basically out of all the splices are wires here, what ones can I remove and what ones do I need to keep or tape off etc?
This is the electronic ignition harness that I am assuming I can remove once I unsolder it from the ballast wire?
Thanks for any help with this. I've looked at some wiring diagrams and I can't make heads or tails of them.
