The Ignition Module The modules are identified by the color of plastic grommet that connects the wiring to the module housing. The most common is the blue grommet. All Dura Spark modules are full 12-volt units. Anything less than 12 volts and the module becomes unstable. The black wire that comes out of module and goes to the four-wire connector is the ONLY GROUND FOR THE MODULE. It normally grounds through the distributor wiring to the distibutor housing. You may want to splice into it and take the new end to a good, solid chassis ground. The DuraSpark module can be reliably triggered by any of the factory, and most aftermarket, magnetic pickup coils, so it can by used no matter what kind of electronic ignition you have. (Including a GM 4 pin module but thats another tech article! BzeroB
The Duraspark box has a neat feature built in to it. It has an extra on-start retard wire that you can hook either to a switch, an rpm activation switch or to a boost retard switch, great for boosted carb setups or heavy compression setups
