Adding ignition control to an MS-II in a MS-1 v2.2 board

Post by fe3xclone »

I'm looking at upgrading my board to control my GM HEI distributor and was told I need to connect a wire from the JP1-Pin 5 to the #36 PIN on the DB37 connector at the board.

Wanted to know if there was a nice, simple plug to use on the JP1 Pin 5 terminal instead of soldering a wire directly to it?

I saw on DIY Autotune's website they have a "mod kit" for the GM HEI but I don't believe it will work with my board considering the one they show in the video looks different than mine.

Attached is a picture of where I was told to attach the wire on the JP1 terminal.

Thanks for the help,

You need to use the JP1 header on the main board, not the header on the daughter card.
