It's not that simple using the 2nd gen ignitor. It can work, but there needs to be a circuit to interface between the 1st gen stuff and the 2nd gen ignitor. Search for "transistor trick". Enough info there to make your head spin.

For a simple/cheap solution, search for these following items:

- 2GCDFIS

- GM HEI

- DLIDFIS

There are a couple variations of each. The GM ignitiors are cheap and stocked in basically all autoparts stores. You can get a pair to fire 2 1st gen coils for leading or could go for 1 HEI with a 2nd gen leading coil. Or you could use the stock 1st gen ignitor to fire the 2nd gen coil (2GCDFIS).

no problem, also i forgot to post, you don't have to cut any wires like one of the links suggest, go by the "20 minute install" so you don't have to **** up your 2g coil in case you ever decide to sell it or something .
