INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 9MR-183
Read all instructions before attempting to install...
1. Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the battery negative (-) cable.
2. Disconnect both point wires from the negative (-) terminal of the ignition
coils.
3. Select the distributor that will be used to mount the Ignitor II conversion.
4. Remove the distributor cap without disconnecting the spark plug wires.
Examine the spark plug wires to determine if they are solid core or suppression
core wires. Ignitor II systems must use suppression core wires.
5. Remove the rotor and the screws that hold the bearing support to the distributor
housing. Remove the bearing support, snap ring and bearing.
6. Remove the points, condenser, and wire grommets from the distributor.
If present, remove the point lubricating felt and bracket. Care must me taken
that the aluminum rivets holding the felt bracket do not drop into the distributor
advance mechanism
7. Clean the base of the distributor housing and distributor cam.
8. Remove the modules from the adapter plate. Place the Ignitor II adapter plate
into the distributor housing. Align the notches in the plate with the distributor.
The plate will line up with the two countersunk screw holes. Use the provided
screws to fasten the plate in place.
9. Attach each module to the adapter plate with the provided screws.
10. Insert the wires from each module into the wire exit holes in the distributor
housing. Pull the grommet into place and gently pull the excess wire out of the
distributor.
11. Place the magnet sleeve onto the point cam and press it down fully.
12. Install snap ring, bearing and bearing support.
13. Install the rotor and distributor cap.
14. The other distributor will not function as a triggering unit. The points and
condenser can be removed if desired.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The Ignitor II ignition can be used in conjunction with most ignition coils rated at 0.6 ohms
or greater. For optimum performance purchase and install the Flame-Thrower II high per-
formance coil.
1. Use the provided ring terminals to attach each of the black Ignitor II wires to the
negative terminal of each coil. Attach each of the red Ignitor II wires to the positive
terminal of each coil.
2. Many vehicles came equipped with ballast resistors or resistance wires. To achieve
optimum performance from the Ignitor II ignition system, we recommended removal
of these components.
A. To remove a ballast resistor, (normally white ceramic blocks 3 to 4” inches
long), disconnect all wires on both ends of the ballast resistor. Remove the
resistor from the vehicle and splice the wires together at one point.
B. To remove a resistance wire, trace the coil power wire, which was previously
connected to the positive coil terminal, back to the fuse block. Bypass this wire
with a 12-gauge copper stranded wire.
3. Check to insure that the polarity is correct, and that all connections are tight.
4. Re-connect the battery.
5. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Check the
timing, and adjust to the desired setting. Timing the engine is now done entirely with
the distributor that was converted.
