Re: 3 speed overdrive!!, now about getting it in.......

I did use a prewired pigtail. If you look at the relay in the photos, you will notice that the colors near the relay are different than the one I crimped them to. I use the diagram as my reference so I didn't screw up the wiring.

What really matters when you use a prewired pigtail is that the wiring on the pigtail is in the correct gauge (or maybe slightly smaller gauge...bigger wire) than what you are wiring. My ignition to relay wire (#85) is a pretty small wire because all it is doing is creating the charge for the electromagnet in the relay. The ones that you really need to look at are the Batt (#30) and the one to the Solenoid (#87). These two are carrying the 20 amps and need the big wire to handle the current. Hope this helps
