I’m working on a ‘74 c10, 350 with points ignition, all original. The truck sat in a field for 20+ years and mice got to the engine harness. The wire out of the distributor to the coil is mostly gone but I can splice a new section on, the yellow resistance wire is gone but I’m pretty sure I found the other end. I’m just trying to get it running again to decided if I want to put any money into the engine. Can I just run a new section of regular wire in place of the resistance wire to verify the health of the engine?
