Wires - Positive and Negative - What wires send + or -

to the starter is as short as it can be..

2) The only wire in the Main loom that sends an actual Ground signal
is the Oil sender.

The generator/alternator (Blu wire) sometimes sends a Ground
and (when charging) sends a +12V signal.

The Flasher relay sends a Ground (kind of) to the speedo indicator.

The Fuel sender sends a "quasi ground" to the Gauge.

For accessories, the Horn button sends a Ground.
The Interior light door switch sends a Ground.

None of the wires sends a + or - !

My opinion is worth slightly less than what you paid for it.

The headlight dimmer lever sends a Ground to the dimmer relay.

Thank you for the information.

I believe this was going to be used in conjunction with engineering a grounding bus
