INSTALLATION GUIDES ONLINE...
These manuals and installation guides are provided to help you properly install our ignitions. If you are not familiar with your engine, wiring, and basic electrical we recommend you have your ignition installed by professionals.
Some photos are generic to illustrate a point. We try to install kits personally but due to the variety of vehicles, we sometimes rely on customers to help us.
If you find incorrect information please help us so we can correct the errors.
Because we have changed coils several times in the past few years, the most current wiring diagrams are listed first.
If you are not sure of what you are connecting....STOP....and email or call.

The MC-1 (single tower) and MC-2 (twin tower) coils must use the springs shown below. Damage or failure of coil will occur if you attempt using without them.

The newest coil (QP) 4 tower coil has a distinct finned cooling block on top. The coil will draw a small amount of electricity while connected. For this reason we suggest using a sturdy switch or removable fuse so the coil is disconnected during extended periods of non use.

INSTALLATION GUIDES
We have updated ignitions and coils over the past few years. To avoid confusion we are updating manuals so only the most current products are shown. In some cases we do not have access to vehicles so the "old" module is shown. Installation methods remain accurate to the best of our ability. We no longer provide coil mounts since the new MC style typically do not require them.
