I just talked to Hesco who told me the one wire can be a steady 12 volt
source which can come from the battery and the other wire needs to be a 12
switched source where the switched source is 12 volts in the Start and Run
position when turning the key.

Any comments on this?

Thanks,

bill

Hmmm.....

Ok, maybe need to start all over again here....

I missed the part about the switched wire needing a solenoid start tag.

The solenoid start tag is the same one the coil needs on the 'coil side'
of the ballast resistor 'if' your coil needs a ballast resistor! My
Accel coil runs on either but my ignition module and distributor pickup
need the ballast wire power to the coil.

Therefore, the red/white stripe wire wouldn't work for the switched
power unless you coil runs on straight power, it would loop the ballast
resistor and fry the coil. If you coil runs on straight power, then
there is your perfect 'switched' wire with a starter tag right off the
coil positive.

With a ballast resistor, I would instead use the wire from the oil
pressure switch on the engine sensor above the starter that is used for
choke and manifold heater power for my 'switched' 12 volts and starter
solenoid tag that to the key switch wire.

That way if you forget and leave the key in run for any reason with the
engine off, nothing will cook, no oil pressure, no power.

Oil pressure switch for the power maybe...

Crap I think my brain's going to blow up!!!

ha ha.....

Ok, I'm going to have to go home and compile all these points and see if I
can figure something out.

Thanks a lot all,
