the only way is bypassing the ballast... either splicing all wires together and removing the ballast completelly, Or attaching a jumper wire between ballast terminals. Then on that moment you can get the 12 volts on both Ign stages at + lead of coil or the ballast itself ( any side )
If whished ( or needed ) there is also a trick made with a diode on ballast jumper to keep it working like originally was with low voltage at coil while riding but feeding 12 volts on Ign1 circuit while riding also while cranking, what doesn't happen on stock setup. Of course this will require to tap the 12 volts source from the correct side of the ballast... ( blue wire ), but not from the coil + lead
IFFF a relay is able to keep activated at low voltage, you could use also a relay to feed it without touch the ballast or related wiring, BUT we must consider the low voltage side on ballast can be anywhere between 5 to 9 volts. Dunno if a relay could be missed at low voltages like that
If you go for the ballast bypass but want to keep the stock look and CLEAN ( no jumper wires visible ), you can remove the resistor from the ceramic groove on back and install the jumper wire between terminals there. This will make invisible the jumper and won't touch anything of the wiring. If going back in the future for the stock setup, just replace the ballast for an untouched one and done. Wiring will be safe.

OK, dunno how the lean burn is wired or works soooo... I'm done LOL

When I switched to HEI, I spliced the wires going to both sides of the ballast resistor together and used that as 12+ volt source for the ignition Edit- just saw, lean burn I think wiring directly at the switch would be the way to go, though back feeding "start" from "run" could be a problem

I have allways though the lean burn system didn't had to do anything with the ballast existance or not and the diagram shown shows that. But since I don't know well the system I preffer to shut up about this

There is a ballast in there. Mine had it. Use the dark blue wire off of it.
