There is a power, a ground, an illumination light that you connect to your dimmer switch, and an ignition output signal wire that connects to the thin blue wire coming from your distributor. You can trace that through the harness and splice it off the ECU pin, or you can run the wire through to the engine bay and splice it in at the distrib.

run the green wire to the blue wire on the large engine harness plug closest to the driver's side.

thanks for your concern man. but i do have all that info from AUTOMETER websites already. so, now i'm just not sure about those;-

1) should i disconnect my battery before do any wiring? what kind of fuse? any picture?
2) can i use 10amp fuse for red wire which is connect to 12v ignition switch? ( it should be 4amp according to AUTOMETER ).

better for me to ask this stupid quesstion first before i make the stupid mistakes later on.
Thanks.
