Electronic Control Module

Module contains seven color coded wires. See Figure. Module receives power from ignition switch through Red wire while engine is running and through White wire while engine is cranking. Orange and Purple wires transmit signals from distributor while Green wire receives primary ignition current from coil which is then transmitted to ground at distributor through Black wire. System protection is provided through Blue wire, which is a fusible link. The electronic module cannot be repaired.
