Title: Need some wiring help. One more question
Post by: TAPOUT07 on September 01, 2012, 07:58:58 PM
Last time I had my bogger out  I must of pinched or broke some wires in my colum bc the key won't work at all. So I just figured I would set it up using toggle switchs. Since the starter was already hooked to one. I just don't know how to set it up so the ignition will have Power to the distributor. Any help will be help full
Will the alternator still work if I run a toggle switch

Put a toggle in line between a 12 volt power source and the power wire going into the coil on the distributor.  Using a fuse in line wouldn't be that bad of an idea either.

Stop at a hardware and get a single pull single throw switch. No need for anything more.
