Hello I was wondering if anyone knew what the brown wire that plugs on the small stud on the rear(the I stud) of the solenoid was I did a EFI swap and I don't think the car had anything on that stud and I wasn't sure if I still needed it hooked up or not
Thanks

Wire #262 to 16A I believe is the ignition bypass that sends power to the coil.
Maybe someone else can chime in here that knows a little more.

Re: What is the brown wire that connects to solenoid
It sends a full 12 volts to your coil to help the engine start easier, from the resulting hotter spark. It is only "on" when the engine is being started or cranking. Once running it is "off" and your coil runs off of resistance wire 16A, at a reduced voltage. Hope this explanation is of some help.1970 F250 Sport Custom 4x4 360 V8, otherwise known as the Hi Boy, and a Harley-Davidson.

Thank you guys so since I now have the EFI setup and coil is controlled through the computer I don't need it hooked up anymore correct?
