EFI help needed, Wiring questions.

Kent mosby said

"Everything else remains in place and should leave the power (IGN) terminal of the VR connector powered. If you want to reduce the footprint of the remaining white ballast connector, pull the terminals out of the connector shell, and tape them up and tape them into the harness. This is the end that should have those two terminals of that one paired connector should be jumpered together."

This is the confusing part. Honestly, I have read your help 10 times. When I jumpered the blue and brown together, I have the rest of the harness with nothing that connects to them. No VR, ECU or ballast resistors. The picture is what I have left on the harness. All the other info made sense. I removed the distributor and other coil wires from the loom.

Since the green wire(not in this picture) goes to the alternator in the loom from the VR, I was going to use that as the sense wire back to the 12 V+ at a junction block. Good or bad

Again, thanks for your patience and wisdom

OK, lol, but I don't see any of the VR wiring in your photo. You could have used say, the blue field wire "as is" for sense to the new VR as it splices into the harness. Actually "I'm not sure" just exactly where in the harness, but it HAS to splice into the blue "run." Otherwise, splice whatever you want into the splice there with the blue/ brown, as that is the "point" in the harness that is the "run" wire. The only thing the brown does, is to solve the problem of the "run" going cold during cranking.

So did you snake some more stuff out of there that is not pictured?

I don't care too much for your idea of the green wire, as it originally was not a power wire, although it will work.

The eyelet end wire you show there is the coil NEG and that indeed is not needed.
