MSD 6a

Hello

To install a MSD 6A on a camaro -88, is this all you need to do?..

First the MSD 6A ( of course )

Then this wiring setup from MSD.

if you use the plug in harness, you don't do the install like mentioned above, you just plug everything in.

Here is a link to the instructions for a 6-series ignition.. Instructions

THanks for the answer.
I did read the manual, but my english is bad so I just need to clear som things out

Did I get this right?

Original there is 2 connectors on the coil. If I use the plug in harness there is only one connection going to the coil, right?
The other orginal coil connector is instead going to the MDS?

Thanks.
