Hi, please does anyone help me to hook up the msd 6a on my v6, I have to get rid off the distributor module???, and how to hook up the wire for use the coil.
Thank you very much

You don't get rid of the distributor module; that's for a 4-pin non-HEI non-computerized distributor. For Those cars, the MSD box acts as the distributor module.
For OUR cars, think of the MSD box as a "giant spark coil". For the best results, you may want to drop the $20 on the dual-connector-remote-HEI-to-MSD-box adapter plug. You can wire it up yourself but the plug is a clean way of doing it. Plus if you ever die on the side of the road and think it might be your MSD box, you can unplug the connector, and plug your old factory coil back in as a diagnostic aid.
