The engine I took it off did not seem to have this. I was going to cut the wire to the condenser and throw it away; then connect the black (kill) wire to the spade connector on the module. The red wire goes to the screw connector at the other end of the module but does it need insulating? photo attached. If anyone has the link to the instructions please let me know. Grateful for help.

Sparker,

First remove the condensor (throw out not needed) and then where the black wire is screwed down you put the module as that is the earth. Then connect the red wire to where you have the condenser wire as that is the active wire which creates the spark. Note be carefull that the active wire goes under the mounting plate (before it goes out the body)because it can rub on the flywheel causing a short. cheers2
