  2. Adapter is formed from 2 wires soldered together at one end. One wire (leading to coil terminal 1) must be equipped with a 1000 ohm, 1 watt resistor. The second wire (also leading to engine ground) must be equipped with a 12, 000 ohm, 1 watt resistor. Both resistors should be soldered to attaching wires.
