its been awhile since I hooked mine up...took alittle going over to get down...

I would keep going over it...look at each wire at a time and look and think about were it is going/coming from until you have THAT wire fig. out. Then go to another wire.

It is kinda confusing though I agree. Take your time and you will be fine.

Those directions are for the window switch.

The yellow wire goes to the ground of the n2o noid...just replace the shift light with n2o noid.

If you have a msd box the white wire goes to the tach output on the msd box, if you dont have an aftermarket ign. box you can tap the tach sig. wire or put it on the coil - side like the ign. dia. without an msd box.

Grey is not used.

red is to a switched 12v. source...I have mine hooked up to the master n2o switch so it only "sees" power when the n2o is active.

black is ground.

the directions say "grey not used" unless your using a msd timing control or whatever that last box was.

Yellow is the noid wire that turns it on.

ok i got it know, i think. but now i need to go buy some splicy things, so i can tap into the line from the Nitro that goes into the throttle position sensor, and the yellow one into the groung nitro. does that sound about right? and if i put a multi reader in the negative of the coil, what should it read?
