Diagram I don't think I could....been too long since I did this mod.

But It is basically how you say, a wire to the relay. You basically take a power wire and put the switch in the middle, connect to the light and have it go out and power the relay field.


The resistors, One for the afterglow won't get used, the other mounted on the intake/busbar does I guess. Which may be good if you still have the 6v plugs. But once you go 10.5 remove it. Or not.... I have not and I just have to glow longer due to the voltage drop it provides. But I also have no fear of over glowing and burning out my 10.5v plugs.

The big thing this does is get rid of the timer. My timer had that fault that causes it to cycle to quick. I sometimes had to cycle the ignition key 3 times to get a start. I find it easier to hold the button in for 20 seconds, then crank, once it catches hold the button in again for 5-10 seconds for afterglow.

I can really do a 0 smoke start like this.
