Default How to use Mallory 685 window switch?

The instructions that came with my Mallory 685 ignition box didn't explain how to use the box at all. Can anyone give me a quick run down of what to do? I need to be able to use the built in window switch and timing retard. I'm going to the dyno this Saturday and plan to spray a 200 shot in an attempt at 600 RWHP, wish me luck!

I just wired it up to my LT1 Impala week ago. We are testing it this weekend, but it seems to work. I would search on the Impala SS and F-Body forums and you will find some information, but its still touch and go as the Mallory info is useless. You are going to need additional relays to control it and the help of an electronics guru.

I will post the results and see if I can get a diagram this weekend.
