Ignition trouble

[62 Comet]

The diagram that MustangSix posted is a great one and makes it real easy to understand, I am fairly sure that's how it's wired on my 56 too. So testing with your volt / ohm meter, with the ignition wire unhooked from the resistor and the ignition switch in the run position do you read 12 volts? If you do then hook it up to one side of the resistor and the other side to the coil + side. Next bring a wire from the start position of the switch or find wire that goes to the S terminal of the Starter Solenoid and tap into it (you won't be using any wires hooked up to the I terminal of the Starter Solenoid) run that new wire from start position of the switch to the + side of the coil or to the output side of the resistor so that it's bypassed and you can get a full 12 volts to the coil only when engaging the starter. The resistor will normally get quite hot so don't worry about that it's doing its job. Good luck

So this pic is just like I have it, the orange would be what I think your saying

Yes, That should make it work! Good luck
