I've been out all day and just now getting back to work on the car.

The red IGN SW PWR wire is currently connected to the BAT terminal on the ignition switch and I've verified it's constant 12v.

The pink COIL wire that's attached to the IGN terminal does get 12v when cranking. That pink COIL wire is what's connected to the MSD red trigger wire.

I just verified the pink COIL wire is sending 12v to the MSD box...**ACTUALLY- I've been using a test light to verify voltage, but I just put my meter on the pink COIL wire and I have 12v when I switch to ACC, but when cranking it drops to 11v. Could that be the issue??

I've occasionally been putting the battery on a Battery Tender after these cranking sessions. The current battery voltage is 12.54v.

Thought- do I need a ground wire connected to the GRD terminal on the ignition switch? The switch has not been installed in the metal dash, it's just loose on the floorboard and in my hand when cranking. I haven't connected the GRD terminal up to this point because the diagrams I've seen didn't have it connected.

Wiring sucks....
