Ok , here is what I have; a 69 with the motor out at the moment. I am going to put a mini starter in with the new motor. So I thought it would be a good idea to get some of the wiring done that I needed to do. I have installed a relay to supply the coil 12v at startup. No biggie right! WRONG!!!
I get everything wired in turn the key switch to the on position and check the wire coming from the firewall to the coil for power. I am expecting to see around 4v on this wire, Do you think that is what I found HELL NO it has 12v on it. I thought that wire was a resistor wire? Anyway I know it needs a lower voltage when the car is running. So what do I do from here? Put a resistor in line? Figure out why I have 12 volts on a resistor wire? Or burn this mother f'r to the ground? As always any help is appreciated.
