So i'm currently wiring up my duraspark distributor along with the module.
Here's what I'm about to do.

Does this look right to anyone?
Here's what I've done so far:
I've removed the instrument cluster and found the pink wire immediately. It has it's own CLOTHLIKE wiring protector. It definetely said "DO NOT SPLICE" about halfway down behind the instrument cluster but I had to break through the cloth guard wrap to see it. . I noticed it was connected to a RED-GREEN wire via BULLET connecter right at the IGNITION SWITCH. The RED-GREEN wire was really short. I disconnected it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nooooowwww, instead of cutting and splicing wires under my dash, I was wondering if I'd be able to get some 14 guage wire and just attach a bullet connector to the RED-GREEN and feed the wire through my firewall.
I found a screw I could remove right around where my steering column goes through to the firewall. Fed the wire through there.
So once I feed that wire through, I'll strip 1" off the end of the original RED-GREEN wire from the IGNITION COIL where it connects to the original plug, and do the same to the BROWN wire from the "I" part of the solenoid...and splice them into the new wire I just connected to the RED-GREEN from the IGNITION SWITCH...
So summarized:
How's that?

So summarized:
Code:
Remove Speedometer Cable from behind Instrument Panel
Unscrew+Remove instrument Panel
Locate+Disconnect Pink wire connected via Bullet Connector to RED-GREEN at ignition switch.
Add bullet connector to NEW WIRE and connect to RED-GREEN
Remove screw from firewall (I looked under the hood and noticed a screw sticking out)
Feed wire through and strip it.
Get RED-GREEN + BROWN wire from Solenoid and SPLICE into the NEW wire.
Add ballast resistor to RED-GREEN wire if you need to.
Put everything back or clean up behind your instrument cluster.
How's that?
