Re: Lost and Forgotten 51

Shouldn't there be a wire coming from the starter that makes its way to the coil? This wire is hot only while the starter is engaged, then when you release the key the wire from the ballast resistor takes over. This is how it's done on the chev's that I'm familiar with, mostly from the late 50's/60's.
