Here is a picture of the resistor wire on the engine side, I have never found the other end of it in the cab and have looked on many 85-86 trucks at the junk yard. A bigger and more important issue is the resistor bypass wire which was added on TFI trucks. Pre 1984 have 2 wires in and 1 wire out at this splice, meaning the start bypass that used to be on the starter solenoid connects here, downstream of the resistor wire. The photo I posted of the earlier DS2 plug does not have the large fat coil feed wire (Red / yellow) which is also the resistor bypass wire.
The resistor wire is the pink wire with a rubbery feel to it, the smaller one in the center on this photo, at the 3 in 1 out splice.
Very few people that do the DS2 conversion test the coil positive voltage to see if it is correct. Most just plug it together and run it as is with or without the correct DS2 coil.

God input on this topic Jim..I have learned most of it but by trial and error...great pic of that socket BTW and of course the plug keys...needless to say I won't let another set of these go UN-procured if possible in my future yard searches.
