FORM 1468 (REV. B) 9/00 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ® HYFIRE® VIIS SPORTSMAN CD IGNITION SYSTEM Notice: This product is legal for sale or use only on vehicles which may never be used on highways. The HYFIRE® VIIS Sportsman CD Ignition Controls are not compatible with distributorless systems or positive ground applications. The RPM Limiter in the HYFIRE® VIIS Sportsman CD Ignition Controls will not work properly with odd-fire or semi-even fire V6 applications. The HYFIRE ® VIIS Ignition System is not designed for marine use. Part No. 667S 4–12 Cylinder The RPM limiter in the HYFIRE® VIIS Ignition System is not recommended as an engine speed governor. The use of the RPM limiters is not recommended for applications equipped with a catalytic converter. Similarly, forcing engine RPM past the RPM limiter continuously for long sustained intervals can cause problems resulting from fuel build up in the exhaust system that may adversely affect the application. GENERAL INFORMATION Spark Plug Gaps For street applications, use your engine manufacturer’s specifications. For racing applications, start with your engine manufacturer’s specifications, then experiment with the plug gap to achieve maximum performance. Disconnect the HYFIRE® VIIS Ignition System and unplug any distributor harnesses (if possible) before any welding is done on the vehicle. Electric Welding Ignition Ballast Resistor / Loom Resistance Wire The HYFIRE® VIIS Ignition Ignition’s performance is not affected by the presence of the factory ignition resistors or ignition ballast resistors in the wire from the External RPM Limiters ignition switch. It is not necessary to install ignition ballast resistors as specified Mallory RPM Limiter Part Nos. 641-4, 641-6, 641-8, 642, 643 and 644 WILL NOT function with the HYFIRE® VII Ignition Systems. by the instructions for the particular distributor. Ignition Coils ® ® The HYFIRE VIIS Ignition System is designed to work with Mallory The tachometer and shift light will work with the HYFIRE VII Ignition Systems. ® PROMASTER® Coil Part No. 28880. Avoid using any other type of ignition coil. However, the RPM limiter WILL NOT function with the HYFIRE VII Ignition Systems. Turn the LIMIT RPM knob slightly past 11,000 to prevent the RPM Spark Plug Wires limiter from interfering with the tachometer’s other functions. YOU MUST USE suppression type (carbon core, spiral core) spark plug wire. We recommend spiral core ignition wire, such as Mallory PRO SIDEWINDER® Ignition Wire. Suppression type spark plug wires prevent false triggering and the possibility of premature ignition or accessory failures. Mallory PRO TACH® I, IV and IV DO NOT USE solid core (copper core; stainless steel core) spark plug wire with any electronic ignition system or accessory. Solid core spark plug wire is a source of ignition noise, which can cause false triggering and premature ignition or accessory failure. MOUNTING PROCEDURE Step 1 Step 2 Disconnect the battery (–) cable to cut power to the system. Step 3 Mounting to a flat surface with shock mounts • Hold the unit in its mounting position and center punch the mounting pattern on the mounting surface for drilling mounting holes. Drill mounting holes using a 9/ 32" drill bit. Select a convenient location to mount the HYFIRE® VIIS Ignition System. Keep the unit away from hot engine components or extreme heat such as the exhaust • Install the shock mounts into the bottom plate of the unit. Hold the unit in position where it will be mounted. system and manifolds. Keep the unit away from moving devices, such as fans, belts and linkages. The location must be dry. Moisture will damage components • From the backside of the mounting surface, insert the washers and the 1/4-20 nylock nuts onto the shock mount studs. Tighten each nut until snug. inside the unit. 1 WIRING PROCEDURE Step 1 Ensure that your vehicle is equipped with a ground cable between the engine When wiring the HYFIRE® VIIS Pro CD Ignition System to an electronic ignition block and firewall (10 gauge or larger is required). Refer to Figure 1 while or magnetic pickup, refer to Figures 2 and 3, and trace wires for hookup. performing the following steps. • Connect the HEAVY RED wire to the 12-volt battery (+) post or battery (+) terminal on the starter solenoid. • Connect the HEAVY BLACK wire to engine or chassis ground. • Connect wires between the COIL (+) and (–) terminals. • Connect 12-volts from ignition switch to the +12V terminal. • Connect the tach/RPM sensing wire and optional external RPM control to sockets.

The switches are used to set the mode and mode values, and the 3 separate LEDs indicate the mode. The four modes are listed below: RPML LED Main RPML (normally used as an engine protection RPM limit) This value is valid as long as another RPM limit has not been selected. The range is 1000 to 12800 RPM, in 100 RPM steps. Setting Mode and Values To adjust one of the modes, press the "MODE" switch until the proper mode LED is lit (or none are lit, if you're selecting the cylinder mode ), then use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the value. If you go past one end of the mode range, the display will start over at the other end. For example, if you continue to increase the RPML value past 12,800, the display will start over at 1000 RPM. Start Retard The HYFIRE® VIIS has a feature shared with the HYFIRE® VIIC: a built-in automatic start retard. This automatically retards the engine timing below 500 RPM. The retard increases to 20 degrees at 100 RPM. Below 100 RPM, the retard is fixed at 30 milliseconds, and above 500 RPM there is no automatic retard. “AUX” LED Aux RPML2 (normally used as a launching RPM control) This value, if selected, overrides the main RPML. Range is 1000 to 12800 RPM, Activation Plug in 100 RPM steps. Although the activation plug has 8 contacts, only two are used on the “RET” LED HYFIRE® VIIS: RPML2 for the Aux RPML, and HSRET 1 for the High-Speed HS RETARD1 Retard function. If you add the optional HYFIRE® VIIC External Control Part No. This is a high-speed retard function which will retard the engine timing when 674, all other functions except the RPM switch relay contacts are available. The selected. The range is 1 to 15 degrees in .1 degree steps. plug has clamp-type terminals that will accept up to 14 gauge wire (stranded is preferred, but solid will work). Insert the wire into the clamp, then tighten the ALL MODE LEDs BLANK screw to hold the wire in place. The plug also has screws at each end to firmly CYLINDER NUMBER fasten to the socket on the HYFIRE® VIIS circuit board. Do not overtighten these This function allows you to select the engine cylinder number from 4 to 12 cylscrews. Each RPML or Retard function requires 12 volts to activate. Typical inders. methods are clutch switch, trans brake switch, nitrous solenoid, or similar.
