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 a
matching coil such as MALLORY Firestorm 140051 or MALLORY E-
core coil P/N 75607.Stock coils or aftermarket coils designed as stock
replacements can also be used. When mounting the coil, make sure
to keep it away from any sensor or ECM wires that are not shielded as
these components work on 5 or less volts and can pick up EMI (Elec-
tronic Magnetic Interference) from the high voltage the coil generates
that can effect to signals of those components.
SPARK PLUGS
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
Firestorm Ignition Control Module. This type of wire provides a good
path for the spark to follow while minimizing electromagnetic interfer-
ence (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. Wires that are next to each other in the engine’s firing
order should be separated. For example, in a Chevy V8 with a firing
order of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, the #5 and #7 cylinders are positioned next
to each other on the engine as well as in the firing order. Voltage from
the #5 wire could jump to the #7 wire. This could cause detonation and
engine damage. For added protection against cross-fire, MALLORY
offers PRO SLEEVE (P/N836). Pro Sleeve is a glass woven, silicone
coated protective sleeve that slides over your plug wires. It also helps
reduce damage from heat and sharp objects.
WATER RESISTANT
The FireStorm Module housing is water resistant but not water proof
and must not be subjected to the elements or to high pressure water
spray from water hose / or carwash type sprayers. We prefer you
mount the module in a dry spot to eliminate any form of moisture from
contaminating the module.
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.
DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR
We recommend installing a new distributor cap and rotor when install-
ing the Ignition Control Module. Be sure the cap is clean inside and
out, especially the terminals and rotor tip.
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.

INSTALLATION - PN 69000S / 69000SR
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.
