Changing to a Crane ignition on my BB Dart project. Do I tie the brown cranking ignition wire and blue running ignition wire together? It seems to me that it is the only way to get power to the ignition both while cranking and while running.

Also, can I join together both the black alternator wire and the red fusible link wires at the solenoid post? I have relays on the headlights and plan to relay most other electrical loads. I am putting the heavy alternator wire to the solenoid post so do I need to run the black wire to the bulkhead connector or can I eliminate it? Is all the black wire does is feed the alt guage?

Thanks!
