That is not the Ignitor III...looks like the II.
Is there a particular question about installation/routing of wires/etc. ?

There is no rocket science about routing the wires just use common
sense in keeping them away from moving/rotating parts.

Thanks, thats is where the III also goes, the reason I asked is because I read it installed opposite !! the vacuuum advance and that didn't sound right to me. but this pictures shows it, the wires on the III need to come all the way around the shaft because they come of on the right side.
Thanks again, Frank.
