Ok my 72 I now have has some butchered wiring I feel I can work around the added wiring for electric trailer brakes ect--this is coming off.
Here are my couple questions---from the left side of the wiring block coming through the firewall there is basically 3 wires running that direction towards starter--- purple 12? gauge and smaller red and green. I believe the purple is for the large lug for the battery (top) on the solenoid but which of these red/green? do I need to make it crank and run? on the small posts? I will be running a new HEI dist. Ok also where is a good place to get juice for the dist? THANK YOU!!!!!!!
