May as fucking well, LOADS of people have em fitted and just dont admit it

And frankly its far lower on the gay scale than the other thing I got for it the other day that I dont care to mention either

one of the kits is a TWIN one, to run 2 coils and 2 plugs if you got twin exhausts etc too, think might keep that for whenever i get round to finishing the v8

fuck the 5 wire ones, ill use the original if it still works, its about 5years old now!

going by wire lengths i reckon white is power, brown makes sense to be earth, and the other 2 goes to the coil, which way round i dont know tho.
well, dunno if it matters?

Hmm, mine is 2001-2002 sort of spec so maybe he used different wires back then.

Maybe i can guess, im pretty sure I know the 2, just the coil ones I dont.

Will anything bad happen if i put coil ones wrong way round? As if all that happens is stuff dont work, its fine.

This sounds like an old one so the colours are not what we use now...

Can they test for continuity between white and yellow - should be short circuit?

If so then colours are as follows

Brown - Ground
Blue - Coil +
Yellow - Coil -
White - 12 v via 5a fuse and switch

If it contains a capacitor which it may well do, then YES.

If you have got a multimeter put it onto the diode testing mode (continuity), and put one multimeter wire on the white and one on the yellow. If the multimeter bleeps or shows a reading very close to zero then they should be as Mike has said

To check multimeter is in the right mode, put the two wires together and if it bleeps/reads near to zero then it is

Well as nobody had a multimeter handy I just got a car battery and picked a wire at random, hey, its 50-50 innit

It worked!

But my curiosity got the better of me so I swapped the wires around

It still worked!

BUT the noises the sparkplug makes are different depending on which wire goes to pos, and which to neg

One way its a high pitched "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" noise, other way it sounds like bad TV radio interferance/static. Spark looks thinner but more constant and stronger on the "eeeeeeeeeeeee", and the sparks much wider but almost see-thru on the interferance/static noise way.

Which way is right? Im guessing "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" as im sure its what it used to do on the Cossie

Radders, ive NO fucking idea about yours

Live to battery.
Earth to ground/battery.
Positive coil connector.
Negative coil connector.
Not sure why theres a 5th one, my guess is its some kind of ign cut switch or summat that can be grounded on a switch if you wanna use it, so prob dont need it.

Its time to randomly guess what colour is what wire I think mate, like I did mine Hey, it was free

My advice is use a battery to test it on thats not in your pride and joy, or at least have a fire extinguisher handy

I tested on the mondeos battery, it didnt go near the chaser till i was sure nowt would explode

And what kind of boofs are they?

Rad - I used to get nice flames from mine when I was running a bar of boost and they weren't small ones either! But I'm sure the addition of the kit will improve flames

Mike,

Do you know how to/have a circuit board layout with a component list of how to make the control boxes?

I'd assume it's just some sort of beefed up 555 timer circuit or something?
