Re: Ignition Switch Wiring - A do over

Thanks Vette. This cab is nearly stripped less wiring, windows and gas tank. The NSS is left hanging, and I'll look into it tomorrow, thank you.

After I wrote the above I thought no, that purple wire is probably not why my reverse lights didn't work. Speak of wires I'm green. Speak of purple wire, it's my understanding the ignition switch had two purple wires for automatics. Mine had one, for the solenoid. What am I missing?



Someday I may quiz you on HEI. I've always heard 10 gauge wire was a must, but judging by a few posts, including yours, doesn't appear necessary.
