Ok,AEM coils.
I did the Grounding,and if I do say so myself I did a good job!(for a Trailer Park mechanic!).Now,I got each coil wired to their prospective wire (Ie:IGN1 to L1coil),so that leaves me with Positive wire on each coil and that sort of puzzles me.
I still have a Power wire On the haltech Breakout harness,But do I hook the coils to that or go to a different source?
According to the Tech info the coils suck a Max of 9 amps,and if I put 4 wires together I am thinking 36 amps.So I bought a 40 amp Relay and fuse holder, thinking that I can hook up the 4 wires to one,then run to that fused relay,and power Via battery.Switched source would be the Diagnostic connector on the Front drivers side by the "old leading coil" location.
..IS that OK to do?.I hate to rely on a relay who's purpose is for ignition.Especially coils.
.I'll leave it there..THANKS GUYS!.

When it comes to wiring,I always like to double check! I have a lot invested in this car,especially the ignition,so I don't need to be my own worst enemy.
Thanks again.
