[Tigers] Wiring Question

[Joel Martin]

Finally getting ready for the first startup of the 289 HiPo motor in 66 MK1A
after a number of years of work.  We are only hooking up, temporarily, oil
pressure guage ( finally found correct tiger block fitting to oil line (
thanks Bill), tach and water temp.  I have a electronic Petronix distributor
with vacumn advance and Petronixs coil from SS.

My question is the wiring of the WHITE wire that goes from the ignition switch
to the tachometer then to ballast resistor, which is no longer needed - (I
belive from the ballast resistor the wire changed to WU (white\blue).  So does
this white wire from ignition switch to tach then go to the + positve side of
the coil?  I have hear that if the white wire is not hooked up the car will
not start - correct?
 
Thanks
