Well, its Thursday and the project is done. The resistor wire has been
removed and replaced with a 12 pink wire. I pulled the wire from the
bulkhead and replaced. If anyone wants to know how to remove the wire from
the bulkhead, I know now. I had to solder the wire to the bulkhead
terminal.
The car is easier to start, just turn the key and she fires up. Before I
had
to crank for a few seconds to get the car to fire up. I will have to drive
it more to tell if I have more power. I also removed all the old TCS
wiring.
