Primer...

 

Wolfs ignition outputs are very flexible, allowing you freedom to choose almost any conventional (inductive or CD) ignition system.

 

V500 provides up to 8 independent ignition channels. These channels are logic only, meaning they provide charge and discharge information at 8 volts, but they do not have the ability to handle the high current loads of a coil(s) directly. An ignition ignitor must be used.

 

In simple terms, an ignitor is a transistor... a device that allows a low current to control a high current.

 

Note: an ignition module, is a dwell controller that contains an ignitor. Wolf will supply dwell information, so it only needs an ignitor.

 

There are several ways to use Wolf’s ignition outputs... coils with integral ignitors being the easiest (Denso is a common example), an external independent ignitor (Bosch offers 2, 3, and 4 channel), and some aftermarket ignition suppliers (MSD, M&W, J&S, Crane, etc) offer them as part of their ignition package.

LS1 Coils...

 

LS1 coils (both Vette and Truck) are probably the best bang for the buck, along with the added benefit of integral ignitors for easy and direct wiring.

 

Example truck coil installation (Coil bracket and Magnecor wires availble from me)...

Coil Part# 12558693

Connector part# 12582189

 

Note: The connectors only come in batches of 4, as a sub-harness

 

 

LS1 coils are 4 wire...

Pin A... can be grounded to the block, but my preference is the head (Make sure your engine grounds are in good condition).

 

Pin B... needs to be grounded to the same location you ground Wolf.

 

Pin C... to Wolfs ignition channel.

 

Pin D... provide a good 12 volt power source (with key 'on').
