What does this wire go to
I hv two open wires. My pictres dont pick them up in prior photos to were they went.
Its a yellow wire, it was coupled in the old fabrick casing with a green wire [runs to water thermostat sensor] and a black fabric coated wire. For some reason, when i tried starting, the yellow wire got hot and sort of fused with top of valve cover pan were a piece of the yellow coating had broken over time and contacted the valve cover metal.
Anyway, it has or had a use and wondering what it went to. It may have been to distributor before petronix change. If it has no use, i want to remove it ir clip it out of way of things

The yellow wire should be connected to the starter solenoid and Ignition coil +, its hot 12v during cranking to provide full 12v to coil. The resistor wire provides reduced voltage to the coil during normal driving.

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
