Nooooooo.
Here's some more intel for you guys:
[tomorrow, I'm leaning toward trying Spencerforhire's idea of connecting-tapping into the Pink Ignition wire (from white plug) coming off steering column] -- then goes to the HEI.
V O L T A G E ....... R E A D I N G S Car battery alone ........12.66 volts...........hooked up to car........12.44 volts
Zeke's advice -- "Check Voltage readings at Ignition Switch and out at HEI with Key On" Ignition Switch at steering column (pink wire)......12.43 key on .............12.43 key off
HEI (1 wire at distributor) ............................. 12.43 key on ............ 12.43 key off
WIRE STATUS ...................... IGNITION SWITCH (Pink wire at st. column) ............ HEI
1. - 2 WIRES = .......................... 12.43.....................................................12.43
2. + Red Frayed Wire only ........... 12.44 .....................................................12.44
3. + Pink Wire to ACC only ........... 12.44 ....................................................12.44
4. + 2 Wires .............................12.44 ....................................................12.44
So, all are about 12.44 volts; or this part of ignition system is at about 12.44 volts.
5. IGN terminal at fuse box .......12.40 key on............. 12.43 key off
6. TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS FUSE (DISLODGED) ......................... .05 (top of fuse; key off) ............. .04 (bottom of fuse; key off)
...TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS FUSE (DISLODGED) ...................... 12.46 (top; key on) .................... 12.46 (bottom of fuse; key on)
7. TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS FUSE (seated normally) ................... .05 (top of fuse; key off) .............. .06 (bottom of fuse; key off)
...TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS FUSE 0(seated normally) ............... 12.46 (top of fuse; key on) ............ 12.46 (bottom of fuse; key on)
8. TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS (no fuse ) ................................... .02 (top of fuse; key off) ............... .03 (bottom of fuse; key off)
...TURN SIGNAL - BACKUP LIGHTS (no fuse) ................................. 12.41 (top of fuse; key on) ................ .03 (bottom of fuse; key on)
9. Alternator ...................................................................... 12.46 key on ...............................12.46 key off
10. Black 3-way Connector (Mysterious Cylinder [resistor?] plugs into this connector) ....... All 3 terminals .00 key on ........ .00 key off ....... (no power)
The main question is why did the prior owner wire it this way... and how to fix the wiring so it is more secure? Thanks
