WIRING PROCEDURE

nected using the distributor wire harness furnished (see Figures

1 and 2).

RED WIRE:

If you use loom resistance wire, connect to the coil

(+) terminal.

If you use a ballast resistor, connect to 12 volt side

of ballast resistor.

GREEN WIRE:

Connect to the coil (–) terminal.

BROWN WIRE:

Connect to engine block ground. Clean away any

grease, oil and paint from the mounting surface

before the connection is made.

ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS

Vacuum advance applications: Connect original vacuum hose to the

aged, or if it is not long enough. If the previous distributor was not

equipped with vacuum advance, connect a vacuum hose to a ported

vacuum outlet on the carburetor.

Tachometer operation: Connect wire or wires as recommended

by the actual tachometer manufacturer.

STARTING ENGINE

CAUTION: Be sure all tools, wires and miscellaneous objects are

clear of moving engine parts and extreme heat before staring the

engine.

Step 1

Recheck all wires and connections to make sure they are correct. Check

and clean, or replace spark plugs. If replacing spark plugs, use types

recommended by the engine manufacturer.

Distributor vacuum chamber at the carburetor and temporarily plug this

carburetor fitting.

Step 2

Connect a timing light and start the engine. If the engine fails to start,

rotate the distributor in small increments clockwise or counterclockwise

until the engine starts. Do not exceed more than ten degrees of distributor

housing rotation in either direction.

Step 3

Set timing as recommended by the engine manufacturer, then tighten

distributor hold down clamp. Check timing again. If timing has moved,

repeat Step 3.

Vacuum advance applications: Reconnect the vacuum hose between the

NOTE: The purpose of an ignition ballast resistor between the ignition switch (12V) and the ignition coil positive

terminal is to restrict current flow through the ignition coil. Failure to use an ignition ballast resistor will

eventually destroy the Ignition Module.

control, use the wiring procedures stated in the instructions included with the ignition control.

To prevent false triggering and possible premature ignition failure, you must use suppression type (carbon

core, spiral core, or radio suppression core) spark plug wire.

DO NOT USE SOLID CORE (COPPER CORE OR STAINLESS STEEL CORE) SPARK PLUG WIRE WITH ANY ELECTRONIC

IGNITION SYSTEM.
