Patrick - that's a good thought. I could just overwrap it back into the harness and leave the old wire in it. Interesting - I have an old transister ignition Corvette and when the TI distributor option was ordered they just clipped the old ballast resister wires off in the harness and back tapped them at the factory - then ran a additional harness for the amplifier. Pretty much would be the same thing.

Bob - I'll call John and see if I can work out something with him to get a new orange wire of correct harness length and connections made up.

Thanks.
