INSTALLATION
On GM HEI distributors:Install the female terminal C and gray plastic connector D and plug into the HEI distributor. This connector is indexed and will only plug into the "BAT" input terminal in the distributor cap. Route the other end of the pink wire to the "IGN" location on the ignition switch. Apply supplied terminal C and plug into the ignition switch connector supplied in the ignition switch bag 510805. Note: For GM steering column ignition switch, use bag 500257, and follow the instructions in that bag.
On an ignition system requiring a 12 volt power source:
Route one end of this wire to the ignition input feed of the ignition system that you are using. Depending on yourignition system, this might be the (+) side of the coil or might be the keyed (+) feed to your ignition box. Please referto the instructions for your ignition system. Route the other end of the pink wire to the "IGN" location on the ignition switch and connect using the supplied terminal C and the ignition switch connector in the ignition switch bag 510805. Note: For GM steering column ignition switch, use bag 500257, and follow the instructions in that bag.
On an ignition system requiring a ballast resistor:Connect one end of this wire to the "feed in" side of the ballast resistor using sleeve B and terminal A or terminal O and connector N. Route the other end of the pink wire to the "IGN" location on the ignition switch and connect using the supplied terminal C and the ignition switch connector in the ignition switch bag 510805. Use remaining pink wire cut from "feed in" to go from "feed out" to your coil. (Ring terminals A and sleeves B are supplied for this connection). Note: For GM steering column ignition switch, use bag 500257, and follow the instructions in that bag.
Connect the ring terminal end of this wire to the starter solenoid "S" terminal. Route the other end of this wire to your ignition switch "SOL" terminal and connect using the supplied terminal in the ignition switch bag 510805, as shown on sheet 1. If you wish to use a neutral safety switch, it should be installed "IN LINE" with this wire as shown in the circuit diagram. Note: For a GM steering column ignition switch, use bag 500257, and follow the instructions in that bag.

Route the PINK and BROWN wires to the ignition switch. Using the supplied connector and terminal in the ignition switch bag 510805, connect the PINK wire to the "IGN" terminal, and the BROWN wire to the ignition switch "ACC" terminal,as shown on sheet 1. Note: For a GM steering column ignition switch, use bag 500257, and follow the instructions in that bag.

HIGHWAY 15 PLUSHIGHWAY 15 PLUS
Route the red wire to the Mega Fuse assembly supplied in bag 510476. Cut to length and install shrink tube sleeve (F) and terminal (K). Attach to the FUSED SIDE of the Mega Fuse Assembly.
This wire is for the starting circuit on a points ignition system requiring a ballast resistor and a 12 volt override. Connect the end of the wire with the ring terminal to the "R" terminal on a GM starter solenoid or the “I” terminal on a Ford solenoid.Connect the other end of this wire to the positive (+) side of the coil or to the ballast resistor "feed out" side. (The side that feeds the coil) using sleeve M and terminal L.
The main power to the panel is protected by a 175 amp MEGA-FUSE. The MEGA-FUSE is meant to be installed in line (as shown in the diagram) between the main power source (starter solenoid) and the Highway 15 PLUS Ignition switch.Connect the large ring terminal end (already attached to the red power wire) to the FUSED SIDE of the Mega fuse. Route the other end of the red wire to the Ignition switch and cut to length. Use the supplied connector and terminal in the ignition switch bag 510805 to complete the connection. Using parts from kit 510476 “Alternator and Main Power Connection Kit” BAG Z, install shrink tube sleeve (F) and terminal (G) to one end of the 6 gauge power wire. Install this end onto the battery stud on the starter solenoid. Route the other end of this wire to the UNFUSED side of the 175 amp MEGA-FUSE. The UNFUSED side will have the MEGA-FUSE jumper installed. Install shrink tube sleeve (F) and terminal (H) and install on the stud in the MEGA-FUSE box. Make sure all hardware on the MEGA-FUSE is tight before hooking up battery power to the system.
