for those who did reply to my post
I have the original wiring harness minus the wiring to the ballast resistor and some of the wiring that went to options the car didn't have from the factory. Every piece of wiring and every nut and bolt was out of this car at one time. It has a complete 4 speed column instead of the automatic that came with the car.The block on the firewall is the same. I found one wire that stays hot during crank mode and in the run mode but It will not shut the car off with the key. I am assuming it isnt a ignition source.
OK, first you said "the wiring was out of the car" or some such, now you seem to be saying that the INTERIOR wiring (underdash) IS IN the car?
What year was it again?

and download the appropriate service manual
If your car is newer than 72, the 72 manual will still have somewhat correct wiring.

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR is the layout of the bulkhead connector. You are interested in THREE wires coming through the bulkhead Some change color over the years but
"traditionally blue" is "ignition run" which feeds the high side of the ballast, the regulator, the alternator field, electric choke if used
"traditionally yellow" engages the starter relay
"tradionally brown" is the ballast/ coil resistor bypass for start, goes to the + side of the coil, originally hooked to the coil side of the ballast
THERE WILL BE ONLY one wire coming through the bulkhead that is hot with the key in "run." If not, go back to your connector going up into the column, and make sure it is "hot" coming out of the switch. You may have a wiring/ connector problem, or who knows---the switch may have gone south.
In your case with the MSD and no ballast resistor, you will want to identify the ign run (blue) and ign bypass (brown) and tie those wires together and feed them to the power wire on your MSD
BUT WHAT EVER YOU DO stop bitchin and compainin. You are not making any friends. Post ACCURATE information. We are not mind readers. And STOP starting new threads. So far this is about the third thread you have started on this subject.
