GENERAL INFORMATION
Battery
This Ignition Control Module operates on any negative ground, 12 volt
electrical system with a distributor. It will also work with 16 volt batteries. If your application does not use an alternator, allow at least 15
amp/hour for every half hour of operation. If you crank the engine with
the same battery or other accessories, such as an electric fuel or water
pump, increase the amp/hour rating.
Coils
For optimum performance with your Ignition Control Module, use
matching coil such as MALLORY Firestorm (140053 Bottom Tower or
140054 Side Tower).
Using the correct spark plug and heat range is important for optimum
performance. Because there are so many variables to consider, we
suggest starting with your engine manufacturer’s spark plug recommendation. From there, you can experiment with small changes in plug
gap and heat range to obtain the best performance from your engine.
We also recommend non-resistor spark plugs.
Spark Plug Wires
High quality, spark plug wires with a resistance rating of no less than
500 ohms/ft, and proper routing are essential to the operation of the
Firestorm Ignition Control Module. This type of wire provides a good
path for the spark to follow while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). NOTE: Do not use solid core spark plug wires with this
Ignition Control.
Routing
Wires should be routed away from sharp edges, moving objects, and
heat sources. For added protection MALLORY offers PRO SLEEVE (P/
N836). Pro Sleeve is a glass woven, silicone coated protective sleeve
that slides over your plug wires and helps reduce damage from heat
and sharp objects.
on the vehicle, disconnect the main positive (red) and negative (black)
power cables of the Ignition Control Module. It is also a good idea to
disconnect the tachometer ground wire as well.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Sealing
Do not attempt to seal the Ignition Control Module. All of the circuits
receive a conformal coating of sealant that protects the electronics
from moisture. Sealing the Ignition will not allow any moisture that
seeps in through the grommets to drain and may result in corrosion.
WIRING
Wire Length
All of the wires of the Ignition Control Module may be shortened as
long as quality connectors are used or soldered in place. To lengthen
the wires, use one size larger gauge wire (12 gauge for power leads, 16
gauge for all others). Use the proper connectors to terminate all wires.
All connections must be soldered and sealed.
Grounds
A poor ground connection can cause many frustrating problems. When a
wire is specified to go to ground, connect it to the chassis. Always connect a ground strap between the engine and chassis. Connect any ground
wires including shield ground wires to a clean, paint-free metal surface.
Module Installation:
Ensure that the ignition key is off and disconnect the battery. Determine a suitable mounting location for the Firestorm module such as a
fenderwell or firewall, to minimize exposure to heat, moisture and moving parts. Make sure all wires reach their connections. The Firestorm
Ignition Control Module can be mounted in any position, but should not
be mounted in an enclosed area such as the glovebox. Once a suitable
mounting location is determined, hold the module in place and mark
the location of the mounting holes. Use a 1/8” drill bit to drill the holes
and use the supplied self tapping screws to mount the box.
Welding
To avoid any damage to the Ignition Control Module when welding
Wiring connections:
Refer to the wiring illustrations below for your specific application.
MALLORY 1www.malloryfirestorm.com
Connect the 12v switched ignition lead (labeled 12V SW) to a 12v
source that is live during crank and run. Consult your factory wiring
diagrams and verify with a test light. The Firestorm module must have
12v ignition power during cranking or the vehicle will not start. Connect
the VBAT lead directly to the battery positive terminal and the PWR
GND lead directly to the battery negative terminal. Connect the 10 way
coil out harness to the main coil harness.
The main coil harness is designed to connect to OEM GM Odd/Even
coil harnesses, or Mallory Even 77640 and Odd 77641 coil harnesses.
(The GM or Mallory SMART coil harnesses are a direct plug in)
Trigger Inputs
Connect the CAM/CRANK sensor adapter harness (LS1-LS6 78654M)
to 8 PIN Ignition (CAM/CRANK) Connector at the Module.
WIRE FUNCTIONS
Power Leads
Vbat - Red 14 ga - battery power- connect directly to clean battery
positive terminal
69050S/R - MULTI COIL
Power Ground - Black 14 ga - battery ground - connect directly to
clean battery negative terminal
12v Sw Ign - Red/white 12 volt switched ignition power - connect to a
12v ignition source that has power during start and cranking
Coil Connections
10 way multi coil out - Connect to the included main coil harness connect harness leads marked even and odd to their respective engine
coil harnesses.
Shield ground - Connect to a good, clean chassis ground to minimize
EMI noise. Due to the high energy output of the Firestorm module, it
is very important that shield ground wires are well grounded to ensure
proper operation.
Other Connections:
3 way MAP connector - connect to optional MAP sensor kit to expand
the tuning resolution of the Firestorm module based on engine load.
The Firestorm module defaults to an ignition curve that references
engine RPM only if a MAP sensor is not connected.
Accessory connectors:
There are 2 accessory connectors (8 and 10 pin) that can be used to
enable and control optional functions in the Firestorm ignition module.
Below is a listing of their individual functions and basic operating
description. Refer to the ACCESSORY HARNESS LAYOUT on page
5 or the software guide for information on configuring the Firestorm
software for proper operation of these functions.
Shift light - ground output to illuminate an external shift light. The
Firestorm module will ground this wire at the engine RPM you set in the
Mallory SparkMap software
MIL - Malfunction indicator light - ground output to illuminate a MIL
light when a trouble code has been set. The trouble code can be read
with the Mallory SparkMap software.
2 Step - a 12v input on this line activates the 2 step rev limiter based
on settings in the Mallory SparkMap software.
3 Step - a 12v input on this line activates the 3 step rev limiter based
on settings in the Mallory SparkMap software.
Signal Ground - provides ground circuit for sensor inputs such as ECT,

IAT and TPS.
VSS - Vehicle Speed Sensor input.
ECT - Engine Coolant Temperature signal input
IAT - Intake Air Temperature signal input
Fan 1 - ground output to control a single electric fan relay based on
temperature settings in the Mallory SparkMap software.
Fan 2 - ground output to control a secondary electric fan relay based
on temperature settings in the Mallory SparkMap software.
PTS - not used in multi coil applications
Tach - Engine speed output for an external tachometer or as an RPM
input to another module (i.e. Gen 7/Thruster ECM in fuel only mode)
TPS - Throttle Position Sensor signal input
UEGO - Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen (wideband O2) sensor input
Data (0 to 5 Volt from Wide Band Module).
