Note two wires to the Coil+, the yellow/black from the ignition plus a black from the amplifier. You'll find that the yellow/black goes to a connector, and is a black wire after. That black section after the connector is a resistor wire to drop running volts to about 9V. With your key "ON" you can check to be sure of your voltage before & after the connector. Hope this helps.

Roger, is the black wire from the amplifier a constant 12 volts or only present when cranking? If only energized only during cranking the black wire from the ign switch, which is a resistance wire, can be replaced with a regular wire of the same gauge.
I would think the black wire from the amplifier is energized only during cranking otherwise there would be a constant 12 volts at the "+" terminal of the coil.
