minimizing my electrical/ignition system?

oldschoolhd · Nov 27, 2011

I have a '79 bronco i'm trying to get running. A mouse aparently chewed through most of the wiring. I beleive theres a way to eliminate all but what is necessary to energize the ignition system and operate the starter system. I'm thingking a togle for the ignition and a push botton for the starter. Theres 3 wires that go to the distributor and 2 or 3 to the coil. Has anyone tried this? The starter I'm sure I can figure out. Am I wrong in thingking the motor should run as long as the distributors/coil is powered?

*update.. if I had a wiring diagram this would be easier. Is any one awhare of an online site that has these?

yes it will work but it will take a bit more than just a wire or to. the electronic ignition must get power and send it to the coil. not to very complicated but yes you will need a wieing diagram or someone with eyes on the truck to pointout the proper wireing.

This wiring diagrm is for a Duraspark II ignition which is what I believe you have in your truck. As far as wires go, you need either the resistive wire or a coil resistor to keep from burning up your coil when the key is in the RUN position. The feed to the ignition and coil is a little different for the START position.

Good luck,
