Assuming its not a diesel <g> You need to run a wire from the + terminal of the coil up to the instrument panel. Use 14awg wire because of the length it has to run. Then you just need to get a ground from the instrument panel and you are ready to go. The + coil terminal will be the one that goes to the distributor. I ran my wire on the inside of the van, but it could go outside if you are the adventurous type. Your choice there. HTH, John |
