I’m going to bypass the dreaded resistance wire from to coil to accommodate the pertronix ignition I installed a while back.

Plan “A” is to cut purple wire (my wire color) and cap off wire at choke and run a wire from “excite” stud on alternator (just updated) to coil.

Excite wire is wired to ignition and gets 12 v when key is turned on.

Anyone see a problem with doing it this way?

I haven’t had any issues, yet. But that wire sure gets warm when the key is on.

Thanks in advance.
