[QUOTE=Rob Doe;2045371 Is the truck wired 6v positive ground? If so, a 12v coil is not a good idea, unless the primary circuit is 3 ohm or there is an internal or external (resistor???) to make it operate at ~ 3 ohm? A picture of the coil hookups would help. If the truck is wired as a Model AA then the red wire needs to be on the + connection and the wire should run to the keyed switch. The black wire should be on the - side and come from the yellow/black stripe wire in the terminal box. [/QUOTE]

Danny, I had an error in my previous comment. the primary should be 3 ohm not 4. Sorry for that, I already edited it.
