Redrocket,

Do 50.a., not b. Step a is for the sort of clean, low voltage signals you would typically get from a ignition module, including TFI.

Step b. is only for coil negative terminal input (which is both noisy and high voltage). And you can only use the coil input if you aren't controlling ignition timing. So it doesn't apply to TFI at all.

Jeff,

Yes, definitely! Many mistakes are made by assuming the right answer. So if you are unsure, by all means ask. It helps you avoid problems, and it helps us to improve the documentation as well.
