need power from ignition switch

Yes this is an other post about the DLIDFIS,

Everything is setup and ready to go, except the power source, I was hoping that by using the stock leading coil wires it would give me voltage off the ignition switch but that is aparently not the case. I know that there is voltage on the stocktrailing coil wires (which are capped off) I am wondering how it would be easyest to get the voltage to finish the job.

Is it possible to use the power from the stock trailing wires?

Or is there a safer/better way to do this?

Thanks, the car is on standby

If you have voltage at the trailing coil + you should have voltage on the leading + because they are on the same circuit. If not just run jumper wires from the trailing + to both leading coils and to the ignitors. As long as they're all on the same circuit it should be fine.

I have voltage on my trailing wires but they are not connected to the coil because i am no longer using the stock harness. those wires are capped.

Is there an other place I can get the current or can I just connect those "useless" wires to gve me voltage?

Yep, by all means just splice into the existing trailing + wire.
