Re: [AMC-list] HEI distributor hook up ?

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A: WHen I did the swap in my buddy's '83 Cherokee (last of the full size) I added a relay that hooked directly to the battery and used the original power to turn it on/off and had the pick up wire from the solenoid attached to it as well. Worked quite nice.

Oh yeah -- there ought to be a wire from the START (cranking) terminal that
runs straight 12V to the coil like Joe says. Good catch!
 
I dunno how the factory did all this -- but if you can find that wire on the
back of the ignition switch you might be able to move it and reuse it.
Wait... 72 is a GM column, right? With those big fat complicated connectors
on the ignition switch? Might not be so easy then!
 
It is odd that there is no plain IGN switched 12V under the hood you could
"swipe" from. I recall that's the case though.
