Hi, I am new here and not so good in english. However I have a small question.

I have just bought a -78 105 hp chrysler or we think its from -78 can be -77 to. I have bought a new turning switch to start the engine and I wonder how tha cables will be set on it. On the engine it says. MAGNA-POWER II ignition

Yellow = Start
Purple = Tachometer
White = Magneto
Green = Choke
Orange = Heat
Red = Battery
Blue = Magneto
Black = ground

And on the switch it says.

Magneto circuit = M
Choke = C
Ignition circuit = I
Solenoid = S
Ground = M
Battery = B

I think it would be connected like this but not sure.

Magneto circuit (M) to white cable
Choke (C) to green cable
Ignition (I) to blue cable
Solenoid (S) to yellow cable
Ground nothing
Battery (B) to red cable

Thanks for the help.

Re: chrysler -78 cable color

DO NOT connect as you think. If you have the MAG II ign.system you shall connect like this.

White-M
Blue-M
Red-B
Yellow-S
Green-C

There are two M terminals at the keyswitch.

Leave the I terminal free. This terminal has 12V power when key is in run and start position.
If you put the blue or the white wire at I terminal you fried the CD module.
The two M terminal short to each other when key is in stop position and will kill the engine.
