Prodigy will become famous soon enough
Started the wiring, about to pot in, going to get other sides pins/wires ready first, then pot them all in @ once with epoxy.

The middle wire on the coils is the positive lead, so i chose to cover it with some shrink incase shit gets bumped hard and touches its neighbour...

That cable is 5 wire w/shield. It is used in the oil/gas industry as outside data cable, regularly left on the ground/mud/ice whatever in +35 to - 45 *c temp range, told the guy the power i need to run through it, he said itll be perfect for that, and stays flexible down to -50 i think he said, and petroleum products resistant, so perfect for a 7's engine bay. One of the 5 strand is the ground, I'm using that as the 'block ground' for the coils, and attaching both coils with 1 lead to block gnd.

Going decent, constructivecriticism more then welcome, this is my first time doing wiring this important from sratch.

M&W CDI module will be mounted where factory ignitor was, fits perfectly on a bit of an angle hopefully I'll have this back up & running by tomorrow. Even though Im heading out of town tonight.

I dont have any slick 90* boots as Chris was suggesting (cannot find anything close locally) so I'm using 4:1 shrink and going to try and be a bit *creative* when I shrink it. The ends of the coils where the clip goes on are shaved down another 1/2 inch to gain more space with the knock sensor/less angle for it to turn

Enough chat, pics attached below
