another classic tony move. I disconnected the wires from my ultracoil while moving some harness stuff around and now I cannot remember which wires go where. Anyone know which terminal gets the white wires, and which terminal gets the pink ones?

Thanks guys, I have scoured the google with no luck.[/i]

found an old reference photo I made, unfortunately it is not too much help. turns out one wire of each color goes to each jacob's terminal. Crap. I have no idea which was where.

Pink - power (+)
White - coil trigger from module (-)

Positive and negative were also labeled on the bottom of the coil.

Thanks Brandon! I'll pull it off it's mount now and have a look.

Paul,
To confirm, both pink wires should go to the same terminal, and both white wires to the other terminal?

Correct. The pinks are both powers. One white is from the module to signal coil fire, the other is the lead to the tach.
