Before installing, please read the following important information…
1. The Ignitor is designed for 12-volt negative ground systems.
2. The Ignitor is compatible only with a “points style” coil. A minimum
total primary resistance of 1.5 ohms is necessary.
3. Caution: never use a “HEI” type coil with the Ignitor. This type of coil
will damage the module, cause it to fail, and void the warranty.
4. If your ignition system presently is equipped with a ballast resistor, do
not remove it.
5. The red wire from the Ignitor should be connected to the positive (+)
side of the coil, or a 12-volt switching power source. (See Figure 2 &
3). The black wire must be connected to the negative (-) side of the
coil.
1. Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the distributor cap, rotor and dust cover.
3 Remove the three screws that hold the breaker plate in place. Some
distributors have an external point adjustment mechanism. This must
be removed along with the point plate.
4. Clean the inside of the distributor housing and distributor shaft.
5. Set the new Ignitor module and adapter plate into the distributor
housing. Make sure the vacuum pin on the plate, drops into the hole
in the vacuum units arm.
6. Using the original hardware, attach the loose end of the ground wire
to the nearest hold down screw. Tighten the plate in place with the
remaining hardware.
7. Push the wire grommet into the hole in the distributor housing. Pull
excess wire out of the distributor housing
8. Place the magnet sleeve onto of the point cam. Line the sleeve up
with the cam profile and press down firmly to insure that the sleeve
drops down completely.
9. Install the distributor rotor and cap.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the Ignitor black wire to the negative (-) side of the ignition coil.
2. For installations that do not use a primary ballast resistor, connect the Ignitor
red wire to the positive (+) side of the ignition coil. (See Figure 1)
3. For installations that use a primary ballast resistor, connect the red wire to
the ignition switch side of the resistor. (See Figure 2).
4. Reconnect battery and make sure all wires are connected properly.
5. The engine can now be started. Let the engine run for a few minutes and
then set the timing in the conventional manner.
