Painless Performance Products 10106, Installation Instructions Manual

Page: 25 / 45

8.2.4 Delco Ignition (Start/Run) System. See Figure 8.5.
Note: If you are going to install an ammeter, see Section 7.3 first.
A. Route and connect the provided 6 gauge red wire from the alternator to
the MIDI fuse. Ring terminals from the “Alternator” bag are provided.
B. Connect the cut off end of the provided 6 gauge red wire from the other
side of the MIDI fuse to the Starter Solenoid Battery terminal. This is the
same lug to which the large red cable from the battery is normally
connected.
C. Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #719 (pur) to the Starter Solenoid
Start (S) terminal.
D. If the Coil you are using is not internally resisted, a ballast resistor will
be required. If a coil is not internally resisted and a ballast resistor is not
used, the coil will overheat within a few minutes to the point that it will
no longer work. A ballast resistor has been provided with part #10105,
those with part #10106, a resistor can be obtained at your local parts
store using part number RU11.
E. If you are using the Ballast Resistor, mount it away from other wiring or
hoses. The ballast resistor gets very hot during operation. Connect
ENGINE SECTION A wire #720 (pnk) to one end of the Ballast Resistor.
Connect the other end of the Ballast Resistor to the Ignition Coil
POSITIVE (+) terminal with 14-gauge wire (you may have enough pink
wire left over to accomplish this). If you are not using a Ballast Resistor,
connect wire #720 directly to the Ignition Coil POSITIVE (+) terminal.
Note: For HEI systems route wire #720 (pnk) to the Distributor Cap and attach it to the
terminal labeled BAT. No Ballast Resistor is required, unless manufacturer specifies.
