------- Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 14:22:30 -0700 From: tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> You are using a wire from the alternator, not the right switched ignition wire. Once the car is running, the alternator puts out 12V. Hence, once it's started, the rotating alternator makes the voltage to run the ignition. Why it starts I dunno -- switched feed to the alternator, or simply, the car starts easily, and the low voltage output by the alt while cranking is enough to start. Find the right wire, wire it right, and it will be fine. -- Frank SwygertPublisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC)
