WORTH said:if it's a pre 70 mustang, run a jumper from the battery to the "+" coil terminal, and jump from the battery hot lead to the start terminal on the solinoid to crank it over, make sure it's in nuetral.
WORTH said:I thought the door key was the same on the 68? am I wrong? anyone got a 68 handy?
Pakrat said:I know it's the same on a 69', the trunk key is the only lone one to my knowledge. I'd find it hard to believe that they only started to do that in 69', but who knows.
krash kendall said:You need the key to remove the ignition. This is way you need to use the door lock. To remove the ignition you:
- Insert the key
- Turn to ACC.
- Push a wire or paper clip in the little hole
- Jiggle the key back past ACC. untill the core pulls out
- Then you can remove the bezzel which is attached bayonet style and the ignition falls out
P.S. I run a CNC machine shop manufacturing computerized key cutting machines for the locksmith industry.
D.Hearne said:You run a 16 ga. wire from the + side of the battery to the + side of the coil. This can be done to run the motor for a few minutes, not to drive it. You'll burn the points after a while.
CochinoFilipino said:Really? I thought this was how everyone hotwired a car and drove it. How does it differ from the normal way of running the engine? Besides it going throught the ignitions switch, that is.
Couldn't have said it better. And just to add some, when a car thief hotwires a car, he's doing it from the inside of the car, not lifting the hood and wiring it direct, so the voltage is going thru the engine's wiring harness.67coupe351w said:ITs bad becasue you arent running the voltage through a Ballast resister, That resister knocks some of the voltage off but the jumper wire directly from the battery is providing the full 12 volts. I beelive the stock wiring harnesses has the ballest resister bulit into the wire comeing from the switch. If the ballast resister is external like it is on my aftermarket coil, you would want to run the jumper wire to the balast resister then you could run the engine like that as long as you wanted.
