I made and connected the hotwire for the CCCI a couple of days ago but was only able to test it out on the road tonight, the temp was 20 degrees out with a wind chill of 9 degrees but the roads were dry.The idle and part throttle was good so was just cruising, i didn't see any downsides to the installation so far.

Before cutting any wires if you decide to do this be sure to disconnect the battery.

The wire i connected to on the ignition module connector plug was the pinout M it's the third wire from the left on the plug and it's pink with a black stripe it is one of 2 ignition power wires on the connector plug.

I cut the wire and soldered a section of wire to it then ran the wire to prong 87 on the relay.
The other wire the harness side i soldered a section of wire to it then ran it to prong 86 on the relay.
Prong 85 on the relay i connected a wire and ran it to the firewall for the ground.
Prong 30 on the relay i connected a wire and ran it to an inline fuse holder soldered it then i connected another wire to the other end of the fuse holder soldered it and ran it to the alternator stud.

The relay can be bought at advance auto parts for $5.99
12 gauge wire i already had but 3 feet is all thats required.
4 female connectors i already had it.
1 wire eye connector to hook to the alternator stud i already had it.
1 small wire eye connector for the ground connection on the firewall.
 
ok, I'll bite. What is CCCI and why would I need to hotwire it? I did Google it, nothing to do with cars showed up. Something about Christian Institute.

The CCCI is our ignition system on the 86/87 turbo regals and the 89 turbo T/A.

You can read more info on this at gnttype.org

This hotwire will provide increased voltage to the ignition coils. To prevent loss of spark under boost and high load conditions also some have said it helped smooth out their engine idle and a faster starting engine. I didn't notice any improvement on the starting or the idle,but they were good to begin with.
 
what is the other pink/black for and cant that wire be easily spiced into the hotwire?
