Wiring up my MSD 6AL box, and have a question.

I have all of the wires ran except for the red ignition(12V switched) wire. I just want to know where is the absolute BEST place to hook it up to. Thanks a bunch, Paul Moore

find the main ignition on power wire that feeds the fuse box, and tap into that.

That's just the thing, I don't know which one is the right wire. I have two heavy red wires that go to a box type thing on the top side of the steering column. Also, coming out of the main part of the column are some wires that go to a gray connector. Is that wire part of that connector?

Paul, the red wire that comes into the car at pin "A4" of connector C100 on the driver side firewall is the ignition wire. It splits inside the car and branches off into four directions. Two of the wires go to the ignition switch located on top of the steering column. The other two go to the fuse panel. One is for the "LID" fuse and the other one is for the "PWR ACC" circuit breaker.
