Connecting the Ignition Control Harness

• Route the Ignition Control Harness to the ignition coil so that its wires do not make contact with

extreme heat, sharp objects or moving devises such as fans, belts and linkages.

• Disconnect ALL wires located on the ignition coil (+) terminal. These include the wires from

the ignition switch/ignition ballast resistor, start/ignition bypass and any other wires normally

connected to the ignition coil (+) terminal. Connect these wires to the RED WIRE. NOTE: The

RED WIRE must get voltage when the ignition switch is in the START and RUN positions.

If you are using a Mallory Electronic Ignition, connect its BROWN WIRE to engine ground

and add its RED WIRE to the Ignition Control Harness RED WIRE. Use Ring Terminal

Connectors to join wires together (See page 2 - Ignition Ballast Resistor / Loom Resistance

Wire and Standard Ignition Bypass).

• Similarly, disconnect ALL wires located on the ignition coil (–) terminal. Connect these wires

to the GREEN WIRE. If you are using a Mallory Electronic Ignition, add its GREEN WIRE

to the Ignition Control Harness GREEN WIRE. Use Ring Terminal Connectors to join

wires together.

• Connect the YELLOW WIRE to the ignition coil (+) terminal. DO NOT allow any wire

except the YELLOW WIRE to make contact with the ignition coil (+) terminal.

• Connect the BLACK WIRE to the ignition coil (–) terminal.

• Go to Step 3, page 9.

RING TERMINAL CONNECTORS:

Control is added to an existing ignition system. These Ring Terminal Connectors allow the

existing ignition system wiring to remain in the area of the ignition coil.

• Move wires onto the stud that is inside the Ring Terminal Connector body.

• Secure these wires to the stud with the nut and washer.

• Install the Ring Terminal Connector cap.

(2c) Wiring Method without adapters for Magnetic Pickup Trigger

Pulses (Non-Computer Type); Magnetic Pickup Distributors or

Crank Trigger Ignition

Connecting to Magnetic Pickup Distributors and Crank Trigger Ignition – Refer to

Connecting the Ignition Control Harness:

• Route the Ignition Control Harness to the ignition coil so that its wires do not make contact

with extreme heat, sharp objects or moving devises such as fans, belts and linkages.

• Connect the RED WIRE to the 12-volt wire from the ignition switch. NOTE: The RED

WIRE must get voltage when the ignition switch is in the START and RUN positions. Use

a Ring Terminal Connector to join wires together.

• Connect the YELLOW WIRE to the ignition coil (+) terminal. DO NOT allow any wire

except the YELLOW WIRE to make contact with the ignition coil (+) terminal.

• Connect the BLACK WIRE to the ignition coil (–) terminal.

• DO NOT connect the GREEN WIRE of the Ignition Control Harness to anything. Tape the

end of it to insulate it.

• Go to Step 3, Page 9.
