Accel Gen VII and MSD

Hey guys, I have my Gen VII all hooked up but can't get a spark. I have the sequential mode with the DFI dual Sync Dist and a MSD 6AL box, using a stock GM style MSD coil. I'm virtually positive i have it hooked up wrong, does anybody have or know where to get detailed instructions on how to hook up the MSD to the DFI to the coil? Thanks a million!

EST (Blue Wire) from DFI to trigger input (White Wire, I think, check your instructions) on MSD. Wire the coil as instructed with your MSD. Make sure that you are getting RPMs through your DFI software when cranking, otherwise something may not be correct with your cam/crank signals into the DFI.

***** DO NOT EVER CONNECT THE EST WIRE FROM THE DFI TO COIL NEGATIVE!!! *****

So i disconnect the white wire from the stock wiring harness, and plug it into the blue ESC wire on the accel harness? Another question. When i was installing my dual sync distributor, the instructions said turn it until both lights turn off. There are two positions in the rotation on the distributor that the LED lights are off, one short (1 degree) and one long (30 degrees). Which one are the instructions refering too?

Here is a great link to walk you through it.

Actually it's very simple.
FYI, I had one of those but my car had no spark. After getting
totaly frustrated i put anpother computer in and it started.
BUT, then problem 2 arose, the timing wasn't stable. so we
ditched it and went to batch!
