cleaning up the wiring on the 68 Barracuda.
Two questions:
1) I had eliminated the ballast resistor some time ago by a jumper across the resistor terminals. Used the existing coil wire to trigger the MSD box. In process of cleaning up the wiring.
At the ballast resistor terminals is a brown wire, goes to J3 Ingition switch 2
And a dark blue with tracer wire to J2 ignition.
Am I correct in thinking the J3 brown wire is start and the J2 dark blue/ tracer is run?
Guess I will need to tie both together to activate the MSD box or is there a work around to only keep one wire from the ignition switch?
Question 2:
The Barracuda has a Map Light switch, lower left side of the dash,
But what does that activate?
I have a glove box light and the two inside rear lights. No dome light.
