Re: MSD wiring

Did you try their website ? They don't hide their install diagrams.
MSD does make more than just one model 'coil and a box', btw.

Re: MSD wiring

yea just use the pink wire that went to your old coil i have the exact same setup thats what i did and it works. the whhite wire you"ll just tape up cuz its only needed if your hooking up the box to points style setup hope that helps
