WIRE FUNCTIONS
Power Leads
The two heavy gauge wires (14 gauge) that deliver battery voltage
to the ignition:
Heavy Red Connects directly to the battery positive (+)
terminal or to a positive battery junction. It could
also be connected to the positive side of the
starter solenoid.
NOTE: Never connect this wire
to the alternator.
Heavy Black Connects to frame or chassis ground.
Trigger and Coil Leads
Small Red Connects to a switched 12 volt source, such as
the ignition key.
Orange Connects to the positive (+) terminal of the coil.
NOTE: This is the only wire that makes
electrical contact with the coil positive (+)
terminal.
Small Black Connects to the negative (–) terminal of the coil
NOTE: This is the only wire that makes
electrical contact with the coil negative (–)
terminal.
Trigger Wires Either of two circuits will trigger the HYFIRE ® 6A
Ignition Control: a points circuit (white wire) or a
magnetic pickup circuit (violet and green wires).
NOTE: The two circuits will never be used
together.
White Connects to points, electronic ignition amplifier
output or to the green wire of a Mallory timing
accessory. When this wire is used, the magnetic
pickup connector is not used.
Violet/Green These wires are routed together in one harness
to form the magnetic pickup connector. The
connector plugs directly into a Mallory distributor
or crank trigger. It will also connect to factory
magnetic pickups or other aftermarket pickups.
The violet wire is positive (+) and the green is
negative (–). When these wires are used, the white
wire is not used. Consult the chart that shows the
polarity of other common magnetic pickups
Yellow Connects to the tachometer.
ROUTING WIRES
Route all wires away from heat sources, sharp edges, and moving
objects. Route the trigger wires separate from the other wires and
spark plug wires. If possible, route them along a ground plane, such
as the block or firewall, which creates an electrical shield. The
magnetic pickup wires should be routed separately and twisted
together to help reduce extraneous interference.
WARNING: The HYFIRE ® 6A Ignition Control is a capacitive
discharge ignition. High voltage is present at the coil primary
terminals. Do not touch these terminals or connect test
equipment to them.
PRESTART CHECKLIST
• The only wires connected to the coil terminals should be the
orange connected to coil positive (+) and black connected to
coil negative (–).
• The small red wire is connected to a switched 12 volts source,
such as the ignition key.
• Power leads are connected directly to the battery positive and
negative terminals.
• If you’re not using an alternator, the battery should be
connected and fully charged.
• The engine is equipped with at least one ground strap to the
chassis.
THEFT DETERRENT
The HYFIRE
® 6A Ignition Control provides an easy way to install a
theft deterrent kill switch. See Figure 2.
White Wire Trigger
When using the white wire to trigger the HYFIRE
® 6A Ignition
Control, install a switch to the white wire and the other side to
ground. When the white wire is grounded, the vehicle will crank
but will not start.
Magnetic Pickup Trigger
When using the mag pickup to trigger the HYFIRE
® 6A Ignition
Control, install a switch across the magnetic pickup violet wire to
ground. When the violet wire is grounded, the vehicle will crank
but will not start.
