When you say ( In another post) that you are running a "Pair" of 8 Guage wires do you mean a pair as in running them parallel? I considered that approach. Just run another 8 guage from point A to point B then from point c to point d. Seemed like a goog idea at the time but I might have been drinking. For whatever reason I concluded that the idea of parallel wires was dumb. Was I wrong?
Another hidden benefit of doubling up the wires would be the resulting ability to leave the old original harness alone. I have had my car since forever and I always garaged it. Matter of fact it was in storage for several years in a very dry very temp stable under house garage. My original wires are in GREAT shape so if doubling up is really an alternative Yeah for me. Please let me know if I am understanding you correctly.

While we are on the topic...can I hit you with another question? Up by my firewall on my 72 (near the horn relay) there is a resistore wire. It is kinda red and it says "Resistance Don't cut". I think this is (was) for the points. It must be the 12 volt wire that runs the points in the "on" versus the "start" position. There is another factory wire (white) which is spliced into the resistor wire mentioned earlier. Said differently they are joined in a "Y" . After the splice both they continue and then go on and connect to the 12 volt input for the MSD box and the MSD distrib. What gives here? When I look at wiring diagrams I don't see any white wire and the factory wiring diagram does not show the red resistance wire?
Seems to me I just terminate the resistance wire and determine if the white wire is indeed switched by the ignition. If it it let it supply the MSD distrib and the MSD Box /Controller.
Any comments appreciated
