<p>Figured I would update. </p>
<p>I was having the issue where it would crank and fire once or twice and then die. I finally decided to tackle this issue and I fixed the problem. It was a bad resistance wire. So while cranking, the coil would get its full 12v. But then because of the bad wire, after the initial start, it doesn't need a full 12v. Replaced the wire and cleaned up all the connections, et viola, fixed.</p>
<p>A big headache gone! Now on to other projects...</p>

<p>One red wire goes to Starter (solenoid I would imagine). The other goes to fuel pump. One yellow wire goes to coil and the final yellow with the factory plug is for the dashboard oil light. </p>
