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 ignitions and coils several times lately, the most current wiring diagrams are listed first.
If you are not sure of what you are connecting....STOP....and email or call.

Our C5 Coil Selection
The new VS series are shown at the top of the photo. VS coils have large aluminum heat sinks and have an additional wiring terminal marked SW. This should be connected to switched power to so the coil will not drain the battery during storage. The coils have their own built in power relay inside.
WIRING DIAGRAMS
The new CDL (low voltage) ignition module has grey wire covering and starts with serial number 11000. These updated ignitions can only drive the coils shown above. If you have an older ignition and wish to use our older coils, please contact us.

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.
