Hi everyone,

Long time no see.

It lives, and I have some leftover wires.

The car starts and runs like a beast. I have a Transistor Ignition system.

On the basic engine harness there is a double wire, one yellow, one white that goes to the positive coil terminal. According to the TI diagram the white wire from the TI harness goes to the positive terminal. That is how I have it set up. What do I do with the yellow/white double wire? Is it superfluous? Does it get added to the positive terminal as well on top of the white wire from the TI harness?

There is a red wire coming out of the TI harness near the distributor with a clip on the end. The only place it seems to go is into a black wire with a clip that goes into the firewall just to the side of the gold cannister on the passenger side. Is that where it goes?

There is a red wire that comes out of the forward lamp harness before the wires come out for the horn relay. The wire is HOT even when the key is out of the ignition. I can not figure out from any of the diagrams where this wire goes. Help please?

Finally, the wiper motor seems to be getting very hot even when the key is off. (I have disconnected the battery right now) Is this normal? There doesn't seem to be too many different ways to connect the harness to that item. Am I missing something, is this a fire waiting to happen?

I have tried to follow the diagrams and assembly manual but there is no substitute for the CorvetteForum.com. It's good to be back.

Thanks in advance.
