As I've preached before . . .

Following the addition of a second electric coolant pump I remeasured the alternator output and coil input voltages (ahead of the ballast resistor) to recalculate voltage drop. With the added load I've crept up to 5% so some engine harness work is added to the project list.

Besides staying on top of the ignition wiring as loads are added, I was directed to make the check by the EWDS. Ignition on before pushing the start button I was getting a coil indicator light, no light when running though.

My current harness is over 15 feet long, hot (red) wire to the panel is 12 gauge, starter solenoid wire (white) back to the engine is 12 gauge and the ignition wire (purple) is 12 gauge. Looks like I'll be replacing those three with 10 gauge.
