:Ok ... now I've got my DuraSpark, how do I hook it up? I know how everything from the ignition box to the plug wires go, but what wires hook into the ignition box? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm sure someone (or everyone) on here will know. : :Thanks, : :Earl, Now its's my turn! Kidding of course. The white lead is the start and the red is the run. Only difference is on start the series resistor was bypassed to allow a little hotter spark. .On the Mav/Comet the resistor is somewhere in the cabling to the coil. If that wire is used for the hot lead, the resistor will still be in line as the ignition switch performs the bypass during starting. .Tip,,,i have run the Duraspark II on full 12 volt supply to get hotter spark full time without a failure but cannot gaurentee it won't happen. I powered a relay from the car's lead with the resistor in, to switch a full 12 volt source (fused) to the White lead at the module. This way the cabling does not have to be altered and can go back to stock if desired. Can hear the difference in starting and running. Ken
