Brown wire Surgery

[clarkedj]

Have read all the posts on Brown wire surgery and I have a couple of questions. It seems some of the posts talk about running a wire from the battery to the ignition switch or from the alternator to the ignition switch, and from the starter solenoid to the ignition switch. Is there a difference between the 3 or pluses and minuses for each? I would like a little guidance. It seems running from the battery would be easiest and not screw up anything else in the car.

Thanks

Hi Ed, The ideal brown wire fix is to duplicate the routing of your existing brown wire. I have a 1975 and my existing brown wire ran from the battery to the ignition switch -- so I duplicated this with a new wire of a slightly more robust guage. Here is a thread I had going at the time. Hope this helps.
