Brake warning light question

Don't understand some of the changes you are making. What will you use for a temp gauge wire?

I am using a mechanical temp gauge mounted under the dash

I see no need for a special wire for the MSD. Originally the brown IGN2--resistor bypass and blue IGN1 -- ignition run

both came out the bulkhead. If you are concerned about voltage drop, eg, fire a relay off them, tied together, and use the relay output to power whatever you need under the hood, like the regulator



For the MSD, the trigger wire (small red) can tie into that as well. It needs very little power as it's only a trigger, like a relay

Also, do you really need / want an alternator warning, or are you just trying to wire up the exciter circuit? If the latter, you don't need a lamp, just use a series diode to isolate it, and hook to "ign run"

I like the idea of having the ign 1 and 2 tied together and using a relay. but if everything that needs key power isn't drawing hardly any juice. It doesn't really seem necessary.

I want the light because it's an option on the alternator and I'm not using the temp sender.
