Where do I find these wires? I can't find a book / service manual
that gives ANY clues as to where any of these wires are.
I installed a remote starter unit and had to find a "tach pulse" used to
prevent over cranking -I looked every where with no luck. thanks to the
("old timer farm boy")Dad I was directed to the negative wire on the #1
spark plug. May not be the right place to tap in but it works. -- TWH
