Wiring Question

Post by ken joffrion »

i am rewiring a 74 thing with a wiring kit from ron francis
wiring. their color code is different fron original thing
but their wires are all marked as to where they go.
i am using the original ignition switch. i need to know
where the 4 wires coming out of the plug go.
they are red with 4 black stripes
red with 3 black stripes
solid red
solid black
i know one goes back to the starter solenoid. i have
a wiring diagram but can not make much sense of it.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

The solid red is most likely Term 30 via the "hot" side of fuse #10.
Black should be ignition Term 15 - connects to hot side of fuse #2.
One of the Red/black-stripes is your Term 50 for the solenoid.
The other would be Term X to the headlight section of the lighting switch (stock it's usually Yellow/black-stripe, but sometimes it's Red/black-stripe)
