o.k. - on my 93 LT1 CMC car, i'm using a painless wiring engine harness. this harness does not have the small red wire that plugs into the altinator. so i plan to cut this wire out of the stock harness as far back as i can. my plan was to put this on a 12v switched source. the guys at painless said it needs to have a resistor or light inline w/ it. does that sound right? they said w/out the resistor or light the regulator would burn up. anyone know any different?
