1 AFTERBURNER SWITCHABLE COIL #140025 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FORM 1647 02/05 Reading these instructions before starting the installa- tion process will ensure that you will be able to take the maximum advantage of all the performance that your ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil was designed to deliver. The ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil is designed to work on most vehicles equipped with a distributor and a single coil type ignition system. It will work with the stock vehicles ignition controls as well as most after- market inductive storage as well as CD type ignition control boxes. In the normal mode the ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil is designed to boost the amperage available at the spark plug for improved low RPM engine perfor- mance, maximum load conditions such as when towing as well as helping to maximizing your fuel efficiency. In the switched mode the ACCEL Afterburner coil is design to boost voltage at the spark plug for improved high RPM performance under higher cylinder pressure conditions typically found when under boost or using nitrous oxide as well as helping to eliminate high RPM misses. NEVER switch the modes of the ACCEL After- burner coil while the engine is running! During the time it takes to switch the ACCEL Afterburner coil from one mode to the other, several ignition events could be missed if the engine was running, even at idle speed. This could cause an engine miss-fire and resulting in exhaust and/or intake system damage. Any vehicle damage that could result from switching the ACCEL Afterburner coil while the engine is running will NOT be covered under the product’s limited warranty nor is any coverage of said possible damage is implied. Due to the high-energy output, the ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil is supplied with an ACCEL 300+ 8.8mm universal coil lead. The extruded aluminum housing/mounting bracket is designed with cooling fins for efficient heat dissipation. A mounting/ installation hardware kit is included. A universal wiring harness is also included. This OEM quality harness is designed to work with most vehicles’ engine compartment layouts. Step #1 Choose an area on the fire well or fender well where the ACCEL Afterburner coil may be mounted with no interference from throttle linkage, air conditioning lines, heater hoses, etc. and is no further than 24" from the distributor. Please note that the ACCEL Afterburner coil may not fit into your original coil’s mounting location. Caution: Before drilling any holes, please check and be aware of what you may be drilling into. Be sure not to damage a component that may be under or in line with a mounting hole. Step #2 Use the supplied fasteners in the hardware kit to mount the ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil. Step #3 The ACCEL Afterburner switchable coil comes with a universal wiring harness. This harness must be spliced into the vehicles OE wiring harness at the OC coil connection using the butt splices connectors supplied in the hardware kit. The yellow wire lead in the ACCEL harness must be connected to the OE coil (+) positive lead, while the black wire lead of the ACCEL harness must be connected to the OE coil (–) negative harness wire lead. Please refer to your specific vehicles’ shop manual for the exact color coding of the coil positive and coil negative leads before cutting the OEM harness and splicing in the ACCEL harness. The blue wire lead in the ACCEL harness must be connected to a vehicle 12 V switched ignition source. ACCEL www.accel-ignition.com
