INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
12 VOLT POSITIVE GROUND APPLICATIONS
For 12-volt positive ground systems.
Compatible with “points style” coils.
Do not use “HEI” type coils.
Read all instructions before attempting to install...
1. Turn the ignition switch off or disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the distributor cap and rotor. Do not disconnect the sparkplug wires.
3. Examine the cap and rotor for wear or damage. Replace as needed.
4. Remove the points, condenser, and grommet.
5. The Ignitor does not require any modification to the distributor. Therefore
the points, condenser and hardware can be used as backup.
6. Clean any oil or dirt from the breaker plate and point cam.
7. Install the Ignitor plate onto the breaker plate, and fasten it in place.
8. If the distributor ground wire was removed during the installation process,
be sure to re-attach it securely.
9. Install the magnet sleeve over distributor shaft and onto the point cam.
Rotate sleeve until a slight locating position is felt before applying
pressure. With sleeve lined up on point cam, press down firmly insuring
the sleeve is fully seated.
10. Insert both wires through the hole in the distributor housing. Pull the
grommet into place. Make sure that the wires do not interfere with any
moving parts.
11. Replace the rotor and distributor cap. Make sure that all spark plug wires
are attached securely.
12. Remove the ignition switch wire from the negative coil terminal. Connect
the black Ignitor wire directly to the ignition switch wire.
13. Connect the Ignitor black/white wire to negative (-) side of the ignition coil.
14. Connect an insulated, AWG 20 copper stranded wire from the positive coil
terminal to the positive battery or chassis.
15. The black/white Ignitor wire and the AWG 20 copper wire should be the
only wires connected to the coil.
16. Reconnect the battery and make sure all wires are connected correctly.
17. The engine can now be started. Let the engine run for a few minutes and
then set the timing in the conventional manner.
