Painless wire harness install (MORE PROGRESS)

Ok your last description clarifies and "sounds better."

I don't think you need the no8 ground, though, just use the body.

You need a good at least no 10 from a battery source to the starter relay stud, that is one of the contacts, so when the relay is "made" the contacts close and send that power down to the solenoid.

The coil or "signal" as you call it for the starter relay is the two push on terminals. Makes no difference which is which

I lost track if you have a stick/ stick with clutch safety switch, or automatic

If you have a clutch safety switch or auto, either of the push on terminals of the relay must go to the center terminal of the NSS, providing a ground in park or neutral, or when the clutch is depressed.

If you have a stick with no clutch safety, just permanently ground either of the starter relay terminals

The remaining one of course goes to the start terminal of the IGN switch, originally yellow off the switch.

What are you using for an ignition switch, and do you understand how to handle the IGN1 / IGN2 switch circuits, that is, the ballast bypass?

Page 17 of your manual shows a diode for that purpose, but if you are still using a Mopar switch, there is no reason to do that.


I am using my OEM ignition switch in the dash. I managed to get the original connectors out of the plastic bulk head and am going to be re-using it with the new wire harness.

as for the ign1 and ign2 i am a bit lost. I am running a MSD ignition and that will delete the ballast.

my msd box has the following wires:

Heavy Red = to + battery
Heavey Black = to - battery
red = ignition hot
white= not used
orange = + coil
black = - coil
magnetic pick up = pre wired pig tail on MSD distributor
gray = tach output

to me it seems that all i need is an ignition keyed hot from my switch and im good? or do i have to splice the ign 1 and 2 together off the switch and then hook it to my msd red wire?

I am running a 727 auto trans. for the NSS i just run the wire from the NSS post on relay to the middle prong on my switch on the trans right? is that all it is?
