Wiring HELP: Jacobs ProPak ignition. older version.

OK well a few months back i bought a jacobs propak ignition amp with a FC leading coil to handle the voltage. It is a blue box if that helps any. Here are the following wires:

Red----Power obvious
Black---Ground obviously.

Thats all i have right now

Know, there are 4 more additional wires that come oout of the box into 2 seperate 2-wire connectors. One connect has a Black and a Red wire and the other connector has a White and a Green wire. I got instructions from a forum member a while back and now i cant find them> Help would be much appreciated.

I haven't wired one...but maybe this will ring a bell

one plug is going to be for the coil pack...my guess B/R connector...the other is for the ignitor signal; W/G

basically what needs happen...when the ignition is on, the Jacobs needs a "remote" turn on 12V signal. Then when the ECU sends a lead ignition signal...the jacobs needs a GND...then it will fire the B/R connector on the coil.

my guess is G is remote and W goes to the ignitor


hopefully someone who has wired one can chime in

Damn dude, after I took the time to fax that crap to you (twice) you lost it? Plus, now I'm only 'a forum member' ?

white wire----->goes to black/red on fc coil
black wire------>goes to yellow/blue on fc coil
red wire-------->goes to black/red on oem ignition harness
green wire----->goes to yellow/blue on oem ignition harness

being the sharp intelligent lad that you are, you correctly surmised that the heavy black wire is the ground and the heavy red wire is the power

hope this helps
