The 4 post relay is correct for a 631 and connecting the coil wire to the small post that is connected to the key switch will also work just fine. You only want power to the coil when the key switch is ON. [Reply]  [No Email]

I make my own wiring set ups and I always hook the coil wire to the ignition switch the side that if hot when turned on [Reply]  [No Email]

Now if you had a front mount type distributor like on the N series ford yes you would need that but the 601 series has the side mount distributor so no ballast resister needed unless you switch it to 12 volts [Reply]  [No Email]
