12v ign wire ?

i know this sounds silly after doing a whole ls1 swap. i am finishing up my wiring and i need to hook 12v ign to my fuse block. i see that it's a pink and black wire but it doesn't seem a heavy enough guage? connector 207 has one free and was thinking of picking up that wire but there is a thick pink wire on c100 and was wondering if this one is 12v ign? it's for a 1989 iroc. thanks for any help.

The heavy pink wire in the C100 was IGN to your coil and will be the main source of IGN for your whole harness. I dont know of one large enough to support all of the electronics aside from that one

sounds like the best bet would be to use this to trigger a relay from the battery to run everything else. unlimited juice there

BINGO!

You wanna run that thick pink wire to a good relay, and use straight battery power to run all the electrics. Best way to fly.
