Before I Cut the wire!!!
I am reinstalling my engine today and am cleaning up the wiring harness before doing so. I have HEI already installed with a hot 12 v running directly to fuse box. The yellow wire that comes off the starter and connects to the white (cloth covered?) wire goes to the old points, right? Can I just go ahead and cut the white wire at the connector going into the back of the fuse block? Thanks!
Shawn

Re: Before I Cut the wire!!!
yes you can or you could get a new connector and run your 12v from that space for a less cluttered and factory looking install

Re: Before I Cut the wire!!!
i've replaced numerous wires at the bulkhead eliminating the resistance wire never a problem not even on daily drivers over a 10 year span// theres a full 12v from the key to the bulkhead the resistor wire is what steps down the volts to the coil// and if you do just snip it and use your present wire put a dab of silicone on the snipped end to stay safe

that's why the cloth resistor wire is replaced. The wire is only on the firewall side of the bulkhead connector |
