Subject:      black wires from ignition switch

I was installing an el cheapo starter kill alarm yesterday that hooks
into "the black wire from the ignition switch to the fuse box."  I
couldn't get my fat head under there to see where they went, but
there are 2 black wires from the ignition switch.

So I picked one, and what happens now is that the starter kicks in
and cranks, but the motor never catches and "ignites."  So I figure
that the wire I picked perhaps goes to the ignition coil?  Are there
separate wires that go to the ignition coil and the starter?

Anyway, seems like a decent solution since there's no other warning.
The crook will think the van just doesn't start and figure
"fuggedaboudit."  :-P
