[DeTomaso] Ballast Resistor

 You have a 74 model so instead of a ballast resistor it has a resister wire in the circuit between the ignition switch and the coil. You could install a relay powered by the existing coil feed to feed full power from the battery side of the starter solenoid.

 Really,

I've been all over that firewall multiple times in the last 20 years.... Engine in and out a couple of times and I blasted and painted all the brackets also....

I'm going to change the plugs and wires to get ready for Fall vintage at The Glen (if it doesn’t get cancelled) ;-|

I'll look again and see if I have missed it.

Thanks!
