wiring woes

Post by Leviathon »

so switching from Chryslers to Chevy's. I have a starter that has a positive post, and "R" and a "S". Ignition system is Mallory Unilite. Coming from Ignition switch on helm is a purple, a white, and a red. Think red goes to positive post along with battery cable. That's where I an stuck. Right now, the way I have it, the engine starts in the first position on the key! At least I know it runs! :D

Sounds like you have the start and run wires reversed.
