Ford / Mercury / Lincoln Electronic Ignition Control Module/Unit Wiring Connections/Diagram with a Magnetic Pickup Coil

This ignition system operates with full 12 volts. Can be used with virtually any magnetic pickup coil or proximity sensor and ignition coil, regardless of the ohms resistance or voltage output, and will produce a strong spark so the engine will idle smooth and accelerate quickly to full speed (wide open throttle) with no hesitation or misfire. IMPORTANT: The coil and/or module may burn up if the ignition switch is left on for more than 5 minutes with the engine not running.

• Connect Orange and Purple wires on module to either wires on the magnetic pickup coil. NOTE: Due to electrical polarity of certain magnetic pickup coils, it may be necessary to connect these two wires one way or the other so the engine will accelerate.
• Connect Green wire on module to ignition coil negative (–) terminal. For competition pulling - if the grounding-type killswitch is used, connect the ungrounded wire from the killswitch to this terminal. Or for a generator engine, connect this terminal with a semiconductor rectifier diode to "excite" or temporarily energize the field windings in the generator.
• Connect Red wire on module to ignition coil positive (+) terminal and to ignition switch (battery positive (+) post).
• Black wire on module must be connected to engine/chassis ground (battery negative (–) post).
• (Optional) The White wire connects to the "I" (Ignition) terminal on a self-grounding 4-terminal starter solenoid to give the coil temporary full 12 volts for a stronger spark for faster cold engine start up. If the White wire is connected directly to the coil full-time and the engine is ran for a long period of time, the coil could overheat and eventually burn up. (The module does NOT have a built-in timing retard.)
