How Was This Four Way Electrical Connection Made Originally - 67 GTX

[67GTX440]

Connection of four wires that then tie in to the ballast resistor. The four that connect just above the ballast resistor in the wiring diagram attached. Mine connect in mid air in a wire nut taped with electrical tape. There had to originally be something that connected these four wires. What was it? Was there something originally attached to the firewall? A picture of whatever it was would help me a lot. A wiring diagram shows the four wires connect, but it is no help with regard to how.

Since it shows three wires connecting and then a fourth wire connecting to one side of the ballast resistor, can the three wires all have a loop connector on the end and be stacked on that side of the ballast resistor itself?

I took electricity in the 8th grade, but designed and made a remote detonator instead of working on automotive wiring, if that tells you anything. My teacher was fine with that and had another student bring in an M-80 we could set off outside during class. It went off, and I got an A. Today my teacher would have been contacting homeland security.

Thanks for your help.

that was for Hemi's only , it was a black 4way two piece connector, those wires ran down the pass valve cover and the connector was about in the middle of the valve cover, no where near the ballast.

Your motor is a Hemi? If not then usually they went right to the device via a black plastic connector.

My 87 5th Ave had the blue wires to the ignition in a four way solder joint using a small steel 90* support.

IIRC one of the wires went straight through with the insulation cut off, and the steel support and other wires were heavily soldered to it.

This was all under the factory electrical tape and harness tape.

I thought they were welded. The "big" splice in the black ammeter lead is welded. Those DO fail if rarely. First one I found failed was in a buddy's 68 RR in a parking lot off the base in San Diego. he thought I was nuts. I was beginning to wonder. We had half the harness untaped, spread over the seat, LMAO
