Maybe dumb ballist question

Heh.........and you have to be careful because that manual is ALSO misleading. The way the ign switch is drawn would lead you to believe that the ballast bypass (IGN2) and the "start" wire to the relay are off the same switch contact. These are, essentially, separate switches in the ign switch housing, IE separate contacts. This is specifically to prevent backfeed in the coil power circuit from trying to backfeed the start relay
Yes my car is (off the bulkhead) blue white has power when key is on brown wire is starting power..my car was hooked up correctly..I'm putting all new wires in the blue and white splice in with alternator,ballist and regulator..brown goes from coil to splice into ballist and into bulkhead brown ignition start
