Not exactly.

The ground is the Metal Plate on the distributer side of the ignitor.

the Batt+ terminal is the --.

the output to the coil - is the |.

Hi everyone!



With a little MS paint and a digital camera, I have created a masterpiece

(or Monster?!?!?!?)

Now to make the hookup easy...



The main Ground: use a pair of jump start cables. Use one side ( of the pair) from the

negative BATT terminal to the ignitor. (Hold the ignitor in the clamp with the wire side

of the clamp touching the metal in the middle of the ignitor.) the other side is not used.



The main Positive: use a jumper wire ( a good set isn't cheap, but they are worth the money)

from BATT positive to term B.



The Switch: another jumper wire just touch it to the BATT positive post. (on & off rapidly)



The Light: use a "Test Light". jam the pointy end inbetween the positive clamp and post

to hold it. then clamp onto term C.



Setting up this way gives you the ability to hold the ignitor in hand or set down and still make

all the connections necessary toperform the test.

The jump start cable Idea

(Yes I know it's not an ignitor)
