a simple ds2 question.

hi,
I converted my 85 f250 4.9 to ds 2 awhile back.
but ive been seeing this ....

"Optionally, but a good idea, the white wire in the 2-pin connector is connected to the "S" terminal on the starter relay. This is used as a cranking indicator to the module, to retard the timing slightly to ease the load on the starter motor"

my question is it already wired in the harness ?

is it worth it ? to wire in

thank you !

It should be wired in the harness.
Do you have.trouble with the starter laboring on hot starts?
You could always check with a test light while cranking.
