Solid State Ignition (SSI) System Notes

NOTE: When disconnecting wire from spark plug or distributor cap, twist rubber boot slightly to loosen. Grasp boot (not wire) and pull off with steady, even force.
NOTE: When disconnecting control unit connectors, pull with firm, straight pull. Do not attempt to pry apart with screwdriver. When connecting, press together firmly to overcome hydraulic pressure of grease. If connector locking tabs weaken or break off, it is unnecessary to replace connector. Just press together firmly and bind with electrical tape or a harness tie strap to assure good connection.
