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 mag-
netic pickup wires should be routed separately and twisted together to
help reduce extraneous interference.

PRESTART CHECKLIST
• The only wires connected to the coil terminals should be the or-
ange 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 nega-
tive 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^® V Ignition Control provides an easy way to install a theft
deterrent kill switch. See Figure 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section offers several tests and checks you can perform to en-
sure proper installation and operation of the HYFIRE^® V Ignition Con-
trol. If you experience a problem with your HYFIRE^® V, first check for
proper installation and poor connections. You can eliminate many prob-
lems by checking these items. If you have any questions concerning
your HYFIRE^® V Ignition Control contact the Mallory Technical Ser-
vice Department at 775-882-6600, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am
to 5:00 pm Pacific time.
Tach/Fuel Adapters
If your tachometer does not operate correctly, you probably need a
Mallory tach adapter. Consult the Tachometer Compatibility List at
right for common tachometers and compatible tach adapters.
No-Run on Foreign Vehicles
Some foreign vehicles with fuel injection systems may require a ta-
chometer/fuel injection adapter to run with the HYFIRE^® V Ignition
Control. Often, the same trigger source is used to operate an ignition,
tachometer, and fuel injection. This results in a voltage signal that is
too low to trigger the fuel injection. A tach/fuel injection adapter will
usually solve this problem.
Inoperative Tachometers
If your tachometer fails to operate with the HYFIRE^® V installed, you
may need a Mallory tach adapter. Before purchasing a tach adapter,
try connecting your tachometer trigger wire to the yellow wire of the
HYFIRE^® V Ignition Control. This output produces a 12 volt, square
wave. If the tach still does not operate, you will need a tach adapter.
Two different tach adapters are available:
PN 29078
If you are using the magnetic pickup connector (green
and violet wires) to trigger the HYFIRE^® V, you will need
this adapter.
PN 29074
If your tach was triggered from the coil negative termi-
nal (voltage trigger) and you are using the white wire
to trigger the HYFIRE^® V, you will need this adapter.
Ballast Resistor
If you have a current trigger tach (originally connected to coil (+) posi-
tive) and use the white wire of the HYFIRE^® V for triggering, you can
purchase a Chrysler Dual Ballast Resistor (1973-76 applications). Wire
it as shown in Figure 3.
White Wire Trigger
When using the white wire to trigger the HYFIRE^® V 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.
Magnetic Pickup Trigger
When using the mag pickup to trigger the HYFIRE^® V 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.
