The Ignitor can also be installed in applications retaining the ballast resistor or resistance wire.

1. Attach the Ignitor black wire to the negative coil terminal. (See Figure B)

2. Attach the Ignitor red wire to the ignition side of resistance, or any 12 volt ignition power source. (See Figure B)

3. Check to insure that the polarity is correct, and that all connections are tight.

4. Re-connect the battery.

5. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Check ignition timing, and adjust to the desired setting.

The Ignitor ignition can be used in conjunction with most ignition coils rated at 1.5 ohms of primary resistance on eight cylinder

engines and 3.0 ohms on four and six cylinder engines. For optimum performance purchase and install the recommended

Flamethrower high performance coil.

Many vehicles came equipped with ballast resistor or resistance wire. To achieve optimum performance from the Ignitor ignition

system, we recommend the removal of these components.

• To remove a ballast resistor, (normally white ceramic blocks 3 to 4 inches long), disconnect all wires on both ends of the ballast

resistor. Remove the resistor from the vehicle and splice the disconnected wires together at a single point.

• To remove a resistance wire, trace the coil power wire, which was previously connected to the positive coil terminal, back to the fuse

block. Bypass this wire with a 12-gauge copper stranded wire.

1. Attach the black Ignitor wire to the negative coil terminal. (See Figure A)

2. Attach the red Ignitor wire to the positive coil terminal. (See Figure A)

3. Check to insure that the polarity is correct, and that all connections are tight.

4. Re-connect the battery.

5. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Check ignition timing, and adjust to the desired setting.
