I need some help wiring a stock reproduction ignition switch (in dash) in a 69 Charger. The harness is a Painless b-body harness and engine is. 440 with MSD 6AL and FITECH EFI.
It had a Touch N Go start which I️ am replacing because it is more trouble than it’s worth. Since the touch n go had only a single IGN output that is hot in run and start, that output was connected to an ignition relay that sent power to the MSD and FITECH. The accessory then fed the painless fuse box.
Now with the stock ignition switch, there is no true ignition (hot in run and start). I am new to Mopar so I didn’t know this. I understand when IGN1 and 2 have power. I’m just trying to figure out the best way to wire this.
I read on another forum that it’s possible to tie them together but the START and IGN2 have continuity in the crank position so that’s not really an option. I’m sure I can come up with something with relays and diode. Just looking for advice on the best way.
Again, to summarize, I have To energize an ignition relay for the EFI and the fuse box has ACC and IGN inputs for everything else. No ballast restistor or stock ignition.
Thanks,
Toby
