Wiring my MSD BTM quick question
I've got all the directions from MSD's website. I checked everywhere, asked everyone, blah .
I have an MSD 6BTM... Hooking it up to my car is no problem. My problem is hooking up the little DIAL to the ignition, where does it go? lol the wires are purple and green, like the magnetic pickup wires... it doesnt make any sense... err just curious if anyone has one of these things and can help me hook it up.

poof up in flames! no seriouselly I figured out why it confused me, MSD sent the distributor back with the wrong magnetic pickup wiring so i had to cut and crimp them to my MSD thus making the secondary MSD wiring my BTM wiring which confused me cause it looked like the magnetic pickup wire and the colors matched so i thought that it was...
never mind, anyways i figured it out lol its all MSD's fault! if you ever send a distributor to them to be fixed specify what magnetic pickup wire you want...
