reds power and green is distributor.. the wire goes on the thing with the 2 wires going into it next to your solonoid, goes on the right side, get a female connector and put it in right next to it

Red goes to a 12v supply with the ignition key on, green goes to the negative side of your coil. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Might as well ask since I have a question about it too...where can I find a power source that is only on when the ignition is on? If it's in the fuse box, which number slot is it?

You will have to get a light tester and check which fuse has power when you turn on the car. It is really easy.Good luck. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Yup just find a fuse or wire with a test light. Or if you want a 4 sure spot just go off the small post on the solinoid. Check it with the light.

You should just bring the car to my house and have me do it.

black is ground connect the red to a 12v supply just check with a multi meter guage and the green gos to the coil in the motor and I belive there should be a white wire so that you can hook up the light source to the tach.
