Can someone help? I need to drive my dart tomorrow

I do have a brown wire that runs along the valve cover that is not hooked up to anything. That has 6.1 volts

^ This brown wire may have been a hack to bring power from the alternator output directly to the ignition terminal. I'm guessing this because one end (near the alternator?) is broken and read 6 Volts sugesting its attached to the other wires at 6 Volts. Attached to the alternator output, it would have been full voltage.

problems are likely in draws from the Pertronix installation or the non-factory wires that go who knows where. People adding electrical stuff to cars that "don't know lectricity" are dangerous, and that describes many mechanics.

So if I'm correct about the brown wire, that hack that would mean the field and ignition were always powered, even with the ignition switch off.

I think the blue crimp connector on the Starter Relay was a bypass or parallel feed for the Run when Starting wire to the other coil side of the ballast. Not sure what the other wires are on the starter relay...
