Hotwire
I have a 76 F100 that has been re-wired by the previous owner. I know the truck runs, but the wiring has been somewhat scavenged. What would be a quick way to get it to fire over and run, not drive? A hot wire to the coil from the battery? If so which post of the coil? I can short across the solenoid to crank it. Thanks

76 was unique year for electrical systems especially the dash.
If swapping in a different harness make sure you identify which year it is and PLEASE note .....things changed along the way
I have a complete mint condition harness from a 75 in my garage but that would be going backwards.
