Hey guys! Hooked up a non-MSD HEI with a 10 gauge wire from the "IGN" on the fuse box by the pedals and plugged into "+batt" on the distributor. 12+ volts before cranking, goes to 0V while cranking. From previous posts on this forum, guys are using the "IGN" with no problem. Thoughts? Thanks!
Just me- but I like tying a wire of that importance- directly to a ignition wire-soldered or crimped.
A radio - no problem- but ignition will leave you dead in the water-if you accidentally pull it out- clutch - or brake pedal snags it- or knock it loose trying to reach a fuse.
I got some time to check out the ignition switch. While cranking, there is roughly 9.5V at the pink wire on the ignition switch. I also installed a new neutral safety switch, and it still won't fire. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Where did you land with this? I'm in the same boat currently...

Old dead thread, I know... just hoping.
Hi David. I will have to take a look at what I exactly did. I can take a look this weekend and get back to you. If you don't hear from me, bump this thread and I'll get back with you. Although, I believe I ran a wire from the pink wire on the ignition switch, above the steering column to the distributor. Don't quote me on that. I'll check.
