It's me again, I'm getting so close to being able to fire this truck up. Anyone know where I could find a key on, cranking power wire on my 87'? ( I need a cranking power, not just switched power)

I'm guessing it would be around the ignition area?

Thanks again guys, you're a wealth of knowledge!

If it's the factory 87 wiring I'm gonna say it's purple coming out of the bulk head connector or are you talking inside?

According to the diagram it's purple from the ignition switch to the starter with automatic trans, manual trans is yellow from the switch to the bulkhead then purple to the starter.

The yellow only goes to the bulkhead though, shows purple at the starter, wonder why they did that?, I know, to confuse us, lol..
