RE: Installing Elec Distributor in 64 Dodge

SB,

You are correct, I am not!  Their are two wires coming from the ballast
resister or reduced voltage side, one goes to the coil the other runs to
ignition switch.  I stand corrected because the one from the ignition switch
suppled 12v to the coil with the ignition in the start or cranking position.
 Funny how bad info sticks, a MoPar mechanic were I worked years ago told me
that and I just believed it until I just looked closely at a schematic.  He
told me that the second wire fed through the ignition switch then to the
gauge wire to supply reduced voltage to the voltage regulator on the
instrument panel.  NOT!  At a quick glance it looked like he was right, but!
 I stand corrected and apologize if I misled anyone with bad information.

Herb,
 
I thought everything under the dash received its power from the welded
splice connection that comes from the alternator charge wire?  I have
completely bypassed the ballast resister in a number of cars I upgraded,
with no ill effects.  I am not doubting you, just looking for
clarification in case I am wrong.
 
Thanks
