Cut the wires as if you were hooking it up to a 4 cylinder engine.

I hooked mine to the leading coil, since I still had my stock tach in place. And it runs off the trailing ('83) I would notice any problems in the ignition circuit I would see the needle bounce.

Helped me right before a race with the car died at the grid and I got it fired back up, but notice the Autometer tach was dead, replaced the leading ignitor in 2 minutes and took 3 in the race.

Anyway its my .02¢
