Default D.U.I. distributor wiring Alpha One

What is the correct way to connect the Alpha One shift interrupter leads with a DUI non-efi distributor? Going from T-Bolt IV harness to D.U.I.

The alpha shift interrupter grounds out for a momentary stall to get in and out of gear.

I can’t speak to the alpha setup, but wiring the DUI directly to the battery and using the stock ignition wire to trigger the relay made a huge difference in performance on my setup. Anything less than a 12g to the DUI is inadequate.

Yes.The green/white is switched ground.
The other is always ground.
