Greg:

Most of the NAF cars (mine included) were originally built with donor parts from 74-78 Mustang II's. This also included the steering coumn and various parts of the wiring harness (butchered to varying degrees)and steering column lock mechanism. Some of this can be found directly behind the firewall on the upper portion of the steering column. They had a resistance type wire that went from a switched 12 volt male spade terminal to the (+) side of the coil. If you add an MSD ignition you can eliminate this type of wire since MSD does not use a ballast resistor in the switched 12 volt circuit.

The best thing you could do is to completely rewire the car and incorporate some relays in areas such as headlights, fan, and horn.
