I've got the manifold installed, just have to wire it all. I used the vqpower write up but the diagrams aren't much of a help.... anyone who has done the install or know where another write up is, please let me know.... thanks.

It's easy.

2 wires to battery (1 for RPM switch and 1 for Vaccuum soleniod)

1 wire to GND from RPM switch

1 wire from coil pack to RPM switch(if using harlan)

1 wire to RPM swithc from soleniod.

Thats it in a nutshell

Where would the relay go in at? Does it help or hinder to have the relay in? Will it keep the intake from opening up? I've read alot about peoples Harlans not working properly, i assumed this was because of bad installs...

I did not use a relay, and my Harlan has worked flawlessly so far. I tapped the RPM signal of a coil pack.
