GENERAL INFORMATION
Battery
This Ignition Control Module operates on any negative ground, 12 volt
electrical system with a distributor. It will also work with 16 volt bat-
teries. If your application does not use an alternator, allow at least 15
amp/hour for every half hour of operation. If you crank the engine with
the same battery or other accessories, such as an electric fuel or water
pump, increase the amp/hour rating.
Coils
For optimum performance with your Ignition Control Module, use
matching coil such as MALLORY Firestorm 140051.
Using the correct spark plug and heat range is important for optimum
performance. Because there are so many variables to consider, we
suggest starting with your engine manufacturer’s spark plug recom-
mendation. From there, you can experiment with small changes in plug
gap and heat range to obtain the best performance from your engine.
We also recommend non-resistor spark plugs.
Spark Plug Wires
High quality, spark plug wires with a resistance rating of no less than 500
ohms/ft, and proper routing are essential to the operation of the Fire-
storm Ignition Control Module. This type of wire provides a good path for
the spark to follow while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
NOTE: Do not use solid core spark plug wires with this Ignition
Control.
Routing
Wires should be routed away from sharp edges, moving objects, and
heat sources. For added protection MALLORY offers PRO SLEEVE (P/
N836). Pro Sleeve is a glass woven, silicone coated protective sleeve
that slides over your plug wires and helps reduce damage from heat
and sharp objects.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Sealing
Do not attempt to seal the Ignition Control Module. All of the circuits
receive a conformal coating of sealant that protects the electronics
from moisture. Sealing the Ignition will not allow any moisture that
seeps in through the grommets to drain and may result in corrosion.
Welding
To avoid any damage to the Ignition Control Module when welding on
the vehicle, disconnect the positive (red) and negative (black) power
cables of the Ignition Control Module. It is also a good idea to discon-
nect the tachometer ground wire as well.
WIRING
Wire Length
All of the wires of the Ignition Control Module may be shortened as
long as quality connectors are used or soldered in place. To lengthen
the wires, use one size larger gauge wire (12 gauge for power leads, 16
gauge for all others). Use the proper connectors to terminate all wires.
All connections must be soldered and sealed.
Grounds
A poor ground connection can cause many frustrating problems. When
a wire is specified to go to ground, connect it to the chassis. Always
connect a ground strap between the engine and chassis. Connect any
ground wires including shield ground wires to a clean, paint-free metal
surface.
Module Installation:
Ensure that the ignition key is off and disconnect the battery. Deter-
mine a suitable mounting location for the Firestorm module such as a
fenderwell or firewall, to minimize exposure to heat, moisture and mov-
ing parts. Make sure all wires reach their connections. The Firestorm
Ignition Control Module can be mounted in any position, but should not

INSTALLATION - PN 69000FS / 69000FR
CAUTION!
The clear coil positive lead outputs extremely high voltage. Make sure to avoid contact with this wire
during key on, and while the vehicle is running or serious injury can result.
