Ignitor closest to the front of the car is leading. The one closest to the alt is trailing.

Still waiting on the connectors. The company was slow getting them out and shipping to France sometimes takes awhile. I am also trying to figure out the problems the Aussie guys were facing. Want to be sure you guys get something that works well. I think the Aussies are going to try to get an o-scope/function generator to test the circuit more next weekend to see what is going on. I also shipped a few boards/kits without connectors/box/wires to some people that had the old circuit. Hopefully they can do some testing as well to see what is going on. I wish I had the test equipment here or at least my 7. I could track down what is going on in no time that way.
