You can add a Flamethrower later (I did) but I'd do the wiring and have that up and running first. I like to induce only one problem at a time. =-)

Get some 16 gauge wire, a female spade crimp terminal and an (I believe) 1/4" ring crimp terminal. A good set of crimpers, too. Don't cheap out and use vise grips! You can probably pick up a small kit with a variety of crimp terminals with crimper at Pep Boys or Harbor Tools for under $20.

Run the wire through the firewall. Make sure it has an insulator on it, so it doesn't rub bare and short out. The spade terminal gets connected to the IGN terminal on your fusebox. The lug goes to the coil. I cut the original resistor wire well back and taped it into the bundle to keep it from shorting out.

Good luck!
