Connecting the Ignition Control Harness:
• Route the Ignition Control Harness to the coil so that its wires do not make contact with
extreme heat, sharp objects or moving devises such as fans, belts and linkages.
• Crimp the Ignition Control Harness RED WIRE to the slice connector on the Adapter Part
No. 29039 female socket.
• Crimp a spade receptacle terminal on the Ignition Control Harness YELLOW WIRE.
Connect the YELLOW WIRE to the ignition coil (+) terminal. DO NOT allow any wire
except the YELLOW WIRE to make contact with the coil (+) terminal.
• Crimp a spade receptacle terminal on the Ignition Control Harness BLACK WIRE.
Connect the BLACK WIRE to the ignition coil (–) terminal.
• NOTE: Do not connect the GREEN WIRE of the Ignition Control Harness to anything.
Tape the end of the wire to insulate it.
• Go to Step 3, page 9.

Connecting the Harness PART NO. 29040:
• Connect the HYFIRE ® VI Electronic Ignition Control’s SMALL GREEN WIRE to the
Harness RED WIRE.
• Connect the HYFIRE ® VI Electronic Ignition Control’s SMALL BLACK WIRE to the
Harness BLACK WIRE.
• Connect the mating plug of the Harness to the mating plug of the Adapter Part No. 29043
from the distributor.
Connecting the Ignition Control Harness:
• Route the Ignition Control Harness to the coil so that its wires do not make contact with
extreme heat, sharp objects or moving devises such as fans, belts and linkages.
• Crimp a spade terminal on the Ignition Control Harness RED WIRE.
For coil-in-cap distributors only
Refer to Figure 10 while performing the following steps.
• Connect the BAT PLUG/wire to the RED WIRE.
• Crimp the YELLOW WIRE to the YELLOW WIRE of the Adapter Part No. 29043
3-pin connector.
• Crimp the BLACK WIRE to the BROWN WIRE of the Adapter Part No. 29043
3-pin connector.
• Plug the Adapter Part No. 29043 3-pin connector into the distributor cap.
• Note: DO NOT connect the GREEN WIRE of the Ignition Control Harness to anything.
Tape the end of it to insulate it.
• Go to Step 3, page 9.
For external coil only
Refer to Figure 11 while performing the following steps.
(Replace the words “spade receptacle terminal” with “ring terminal” when
aftermarket coils with post type terminals are used.)
• Disconnect the BAT wire from the ignition coil BAT/(+) terminal. Connect the BAT wire to
the RED WIRE.
• Disconnect the tachometer wire from the ignition coil TACH/(–) terminal.
• Crimp a spade receptacle terminal on the Ignition Control Harness YELLOW WIRE.
Connect the YELLOW WIRE to the ignition coil BAT/(+) terminal. DO NOT allow any wire
except the YELLOW WIRE to make contact with the ignition coil BAT/(+) terminal.
• Crimp a spade receptacle terminal on the Ignition Control Harness BLACK WIRE.
Connect the BLACK WIRE to the ignition coil BAT/(–) terminal.
• Discard the adapter plug with the yellow and brown wires from the Adapter PART NO.
29043. It is not used on external ignition coil HEI systems.
• Note: DO NOT connect the GREEN WIRE of the Ignition Control Harness to
anything. Tape the end of it to insulate it.
• Go to Step 3, page 9.
Connecting to Mopar/Chrysler Electronic Systems (non-computer type) using
Harness PART NO. 29040 for OEM magnetic pickup
Refer to Figure 12 while performing the following steps.
• Disconnect all connectors at the ignition module, ignition coil and distributor. Remove the
ignition module. Take notice of a DARK GREEN/RED WIRE connected to the ignition
ballast resistor. Remove the distributor and coil harnesses.
