always remove the Negative cable first and install it last.
Parts Included:
1 - Dual Ignition Adapter, PN 89121
This Dual Channel Adapter is designed to be used on Ford Coil-on-Plug Ignitions ('99-On). Four of
these adapters are required with two DIS-4 Ignitions for installation on a V8 engine.
Note: The Wiring Harness that goes to the coil packs and ECU of your DIS Ignition should be equipped
with several bullet connectors. This allows for easy installation of the Adapter if the Harness
does not have the bullet connectors as shown in Figure 1, contact MSD’s Customer Service
and they will send you a special wiring Harness.
MOUNTING
1. Select a location to mount the DIS Adapter. Make sure it is away from direct engine heat sources and
that all of the wiring will easily reach the MSD Ignition.
2. Using the Adapter as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes. Remove the unit and drill
each location using a 1/4” drill bit.
Secure the Adapter using 1/4”
hardware (not supplied).
WIRING
The Adapter has six wires that need
to be connected. The chart shows
each wire’s application. Figure 1
shows how to wire the Adapter to
the DIS Ignitions.
