65 Barracuda electronic ignition, orange box, ballast resistor questions
Hi Guys,
Getting close on my 65 Barracuda....I purchased a engine side wiring harness from Classic industries that is built for an electronic ignition swap. Using the Mancini Racing electronic ignition and orange box kit. Electronic Distributor Conversion Kit That kit comes with the wiring harness that connects to the orange box and a harness that leads to the distributor, coil, starter etc. The wiring harness I purchased from Classic has a clean connection to the orange box with the hard wired ends finished (pictured).
First question: The Classic Ind. harness is set up for a 4 pin ballast resistor, I connected the pre finished wires as pictured, with no orientation reference. Is this correct or is there an input/output to the ballast resistor wiring?
Next question is the connections to the bulkhead.. The kit only has the yellow wire (attached as pictured), big, black wire which I assume connects to the lug in the middle and ends up at the end of my harness connecting to the starter, and the purple wire which connects to the main 12V power lug. Looking at my old bulkhead wiring, I see a short wire from the drivers side lug on the bulkhead to the main 12V power lug....I just need to do that again, correct? My last connection to the large 12V power lug is from the battery. What I am missing is that there is no connector for the top left spade on the ignition mod. or anything I can see that wires to the passenger side spade on the bulkhead connector. Here is that image:
This is all new to me, so I am counting on my Mopar friends to help me sort this out and do things the right way. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Happy New Years!
