It looks like you’re ready to pull the head off? I’d urge you to do a leakdown test before you do that. You’ll see bubbles in the coolant if the gasket is leaking (or the head is cracked). If you...

That’s correct. I wonder if the “run” and “accessory” wires are switched at the ignition switch. Is the ignition coil also hot in accessory? The alternator field? They shouldn’t be.
