On my 77 I just replaced the plugs, removed the ground strap, installed the jumper wires between each plug and hooked plug #1 up to the existing relay system. I did this about 3 yrs ago and have had no problems at all. I don't see any real need to keep the plugs on after the engine starts since I don't have any post-start idle problems. Made a HUGE difference in cold starts (below 10 degrees fahrenheit)
