The starter solenoid IGN terminal should only have 12V during crank. After that, if there is power at that terminal it would be less than 12V. If you look at a wiring diagram it's easy to understand why. Connecting the choke to that terminal is the same as connecting it to the + or - side of the ignition coil which is incorrect. If you are looking for the easiest method, try the "S" terminal on the voltage regulator (if you car doesn't have a factory tach). Your first issue is to connect the choke wiring correctly and set it so the choke plate snaps completely shut when cold. That choke has an internal choke pull off so as soon as the motor starts up, engine vacuum operates the choke pull off and immediately opens the choke plate roughly 1/4" or so to prevent the motor from flooding.

I deal with this every day. You have one guy with no experience that doesn't have a problem installing a qtr ext. Then you have a professional with 30 years of experience and cries like a baby because he can't make it fit LOL.

Is the only issue running rough when cold? If so, I'd first double check the choke settings, make certain the choke pull off is working and adjusted correctly, and the fast idle set correctly. What carb is it and what type of choke setup does it have? Could also be a bad spark plug wire or spark plug. Cold engines put more demand on the secondary side of the ignition system (coil, rotor, cap, spark plug wires and spark plugs) and issues will show up when cold. Also, under load like hard acceleration or up hills puts more demand on the secondary side of the ignition system. I haven't used Pertronix but I have heard many stories of the ignition module burning up if the ignition switch is left on for more than a couple of minutes with the motor not running. For the 12V coil, you can get a 12V source directly from the ignition switch. You won't need a relay setup. Another member here, Midlife, will likely know exactly what terminal to use on the ignition switch.

Figure what it would cost to replace the car (i.e. how much is would cost if you had to buy a replacement in similar condition) and add 25%.

I used Dynacorn tail panel as well with no problems. Worked great. The only dynacorn exterior panels I have found a problem with is some of their doors.
