    Actually it's red with green. The green with red is the alternator light wire from the regulator.
    One note: you have to have power in start AND run on startup. Problem is, if you use the diode protected EFI solenoid, you won't have the capability from that solenoid. The Maverick solenoid allows this function but has no diode protection.

    When I get home tonight, I scan my diagram for you guys. It makes more sense when you see it instead of just describing it and I can't upload anything at work.
