I am getting to the point where i want to fire my engine up,all the dash wiring is not complete at the moment so i bought a remote start.
I had planned to wire mine one to the starter, one to the battery and run a wire from the battery to the + side of the coil would this test run the engine?
it's a pertronix ignition in it
sorry to hijack but i feel we are all on the same topic with the remote starter button

All I have handy is a couple of engine pics.

See the red button just to the inside of the master cylinder?

Does a 64 have the same purple connectors on a stick car? I can't see them on mine.
