Hi Folks I'm back,
     Red goes to coil +       Green to coil -        brown to ground
after starting it check to see that coil + shows 7-9 volts if it's higher you
will need a ballast resistor.  The voltage can be higher with a stock gm coil,
most aftermarket coils are wound different and let too much current through to
the - side of coil and smokes the unilite module, thus the need for a ballast
resistor.....the red wire can actually handle the 12-14 volts but it is the
green/trigger wire that has to be controlled. Again the ballast goes on the
coil + wire between your ign switch and coil +......hope that helps
