On a '68 is there supposed to be a wire from the "I" terminal of the starter relay to the positive on the coil as well as the resistor wire? Mine only has the thick pink resistor wire.

Yes, but the "I" wire merges into the harness under the dash. It's where the pink wire ends into the connector.

Reading your post a little more, the resistor wire is all under the dash in the harness loom. The wire to the coil under the hood is just regular copper wire.

OK, thanks. I'll have to take another look under the dash, it's not a pretty site. I've seen a wire harness available through this site for '67 8cyl trucks, could I use it for my '68 6cyl. with 8ft bed or is it completely different?

Boy, I sure don't know about that one, sorry.

Why do people have to hack up these harnesses? Mine is totally unmolested and it's worked fine for the last 34+ years.

Thanks anyway, I know what you mean. Some people always seem to do things the hard way, even though the right way is simpler.
