I want to by-pass the stock electronic control unit that connects to the stock distributor on my '84 Dodge Caravan.
I see that the mopar's 'orange box' or ignition control module is used with ignition systems in later motors. I've looked at the wiring diagrams and I'm trying to figure out how it would hook up:
The 2.2 distributor uses the following wire colors:
orange
grey
black / light blue
---------------------------
The wire colors of the mopar orange box show the following:
green/red (or blue/yellow) --- to ballast resistor and indirectly, to positive + on ign. coil.
black/yellow --- to neg - on the ign. coil
green/red --- not used
grey/black --- to distributor brown/white --- to distributor
------------------------------------
So my question is, which wires from the original 2.2 distributor do I connect to the wires that the orange box will use? I'm assuming the orange and grey wires are going to be used. If so, then how should they be connected to the grey/black and brown/white wires that the orange box is using?
