If memory serves, they used a resistance wire to coil for run, which would drop voltage a little to keep from frying the points. While cranking, 12V would be supplied to coil, then when releasing key to "run", the resistance wire would provide running voltage. If it's open, jumping battery + to coil + would jump around it. Sounds like either switch or wire...?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
