alternator wiring with dedicated ignition circuit

Actually I run a separate starter button also dedicated. I had issues with power brownouts until I cleaned up the bulkhead connectors and started feeding the ignition directly. Maybe I'll try running off the ballast feed like you mention......I don't read quite as high a voltage there as straight off the batt. but maybe it will be enough. I wouldn't be surprised to find that my ignition switch has had better days!
