I must have lost the instructions to install this.
I also looked on the website and nothing there. Anyone have a link or copy?

I just sent the instructions to your Yahoo e-mail.  :yesnod:

Tried posting them here but the files were too large.  :P

Yep, they are on page 1 of the instructions  :yesnod:

Red to coil +
Orange to coil -
Black to engine ground (I use one of the intake valley pan end strap bolts at the front of the engine)

You can remove the ballist resistor and tie the two wires together or keep the ballist in place and gut it while soldering in a #8 jumper wire. The RTR is designed to be run on a constant 12V power feed. The blue wire from the ballist gets connected to the coil + terminal.

That's it....easy as pie.  :icon_smile_big:

You mean these guys? (blue wires)

Nope,

I should have said ; tie the two terminals together. Basicly the wiring from one side of the ballist gets tied into the other side. This gives you a constant 12V power supply in both the run & start positions of the ignition circuit. It needs 12V to start and 12V after the key is released to keep running.  :yesnod:

If you want to keep the "stock look" you can gut the ballist resistor and solder in an 8 guage jumper wire between the top and bottom terminals on the backside of the ballist resistor. This will give you 12V at all times. Same effect as removing the ballist entirely and tying both plugs together  ;)

It is actually a blue wire and a brown wire you need to tire together, if you have a stock wire harness.
