[Doubletrouble]

I've followed the yellow wire from the coil back to the starter and there was no external resistor. I then followed the purple wire back to the plug in at the firewall with again no external resistor. The purple wire is a #10, I believe and the yellow wire is much thinner. I am thinking that since the yellow wire is not #10, I need to replace it with a #10 so as to be consistent. I did meter the lines and I am reading 9 volts at both the coil and at the yellow wire connection at the solenoid. I do have 12 volts at the solenoid hot lead from the battery, as one would expect. I am still looking for an external ballast resistor...
