Gentlemen,
As previously discussed i have a 1998 sunesta with an older 1988-1995 5.7 in it. I'm getting close to being done with the wiring and have a question on the slave cylinder wiring.
Questions below:
1. I do not have any wire coming from the "I" ignition terminal and from doing some reading this should route to the + side of the coil to give some extra Amperage during starting.
Can anyone confirm for me that this is correct?
2. Also pictured is a random ground wire hanging out that I cannot figure where it would go. Any thoughts on this?
3. The alternator harness has a blue wire (always has power) AND a purple wire (switched power) that are terminated and no connection points available on the alternator so I'm thinking the harness was there for an externally excited field? Does this sound correct?
Thanks in advance for all the help,
Ken
