What I did on the last one I handled (33 Su8) was with the cable separated from the housing I simply screwed the coil feed onto the main accessory feed and secured the armored cable under the dash. Forget all the fancy stuff. It's a two position switch - on/off.


So I could just connect the coil wire directly to the accessory terminal on the ignition switch? That would be so much easier.

I'm pretty sure the car has been converted to 12V, and I believe they installed a fuse panel when the car was rebuilt. I'll have to double check next time I'm with the car. I'm not sure how the whole ignition and accessory circuits are wired, and I'm not sure I'll have much luck finding out. As stated before it is a nightmare of wires, hose ducts, and air handler below that dash.
