I think i downloaded the instructions off the jegs website. Just look for the mallory box on there and it should be on the same page. As for the harness i dont recall the part number needed for your year but that shouldnt be that hard to find as well.

Like he said the Mallory instructions are on jegs. You can find them through Google.

You need the MSD plug n play harness for a dual connector coil.

Google is your friend

So the mallory will work with the 94 obd1? I have to hook it up to the map sensor?

It should just hook into the ignition system by the MSD harness mentioned above.

the mallory 685 will work on a carbed 1975 vehicle. Your over thinking all the output features. The map sensor hook up is for boost reference to retard timing..

I would freshin up on the instructions lie mentioned a couple times above.

But shouldn't I use it to retard timing when spraying or is there another way to pull timing?

I suggest you read all the instructions thoroughly or your going to have some issues. The retard can be preset by going through the menu options once its hooked up.

I foresee another destroyed motor getting blamed on nitrous soon.

You should probably do a little more research.

I'm not trying to blow it up, that's why I'm trying to figure out what to do. What should my settings be for a 100 shot?

You need:
Colder non-projected tip plugs (BR7EF or similar)
Adequate fuel supply (Walbro 255 or similar)
Pull 5 degrees of timing
Jet to around 12.5:1 AFR

Remember too much fuel and too much timing will kill parts just as fast as lean will...

You also need to set up the window switch on that Mallory box. 3000 RPMS Start and deactivate 200-300 RPMs before the shift...

Start conservative and go from there.

Lol I always search before I ask questions! I read through 10 pages before I posted and didn't get the answer I was looking for. I thought that's why threads are started...you could tell everyone to search from the last 10 pages because everything has been gone through.
I'm sure you have not posted a question that has not been previously answered, have you? Just asking.

Wow okay, I'm trying to help you out since you obviously don't know what your doing... I had a very successful nitrous set up from using the search feature on this site, and reading the stickys in the n2o section. Best of luck to you, just don't let it go lean...

I'm sorry man but have been trying to read everything possible because I don't want to mess something up and at the same time I want to learn and do it myself. If I take it to the shop all the grinding I did to make the plate fit will feel like the hard work is done and I gave up on the wiring. I will read through the stickies today and hopefully I can make sense of it all.
