Hey guys, can anybody help with connecting an MSD billet distributor and 6AL to an Accel Gen 7? I tried MSD's very generic directions but it will not work. Any help with wiring these together would be great.

Thanks

What ignition harness do you have on the Gen 7?

MSD billet distributor with a 6 AL box. The Accel will not recognize a rpm signal.

what about grabbing the rpm signal from the negative side of the coil?

How many wires come out of the dist and what colors? It will work but I need to know what kind of trigger the dist uses.

The msd box trigger wire, white I believe, will get connected to pin H, bark blue wire on the gen 7 ignition connector.

Correct. MSD 6AL white to Accel dark blue. It'll fire right up.
You're actually taking the signal off the box, not the distributor so the type of distributor is mostly irrelevant.

Thank you very much for the input, however I did order an Accel duel sync distributor and adapter harness. I will be selling the MSD unit.
