MSD with OEM Electronic Distributor
The MSD's distributor pickup wires use a different type of connector. Somehow you need to splice on or convert.
Power leads:
1 Ring terminal for the MSD's power to connect to the battery or alternator. Alt output stud is prob better but the solenoid stud will work.
1 Ring terminal for the MSD ground wire to the block or head.
For the coil hookup, you may need some smaller ring terminals. The 6A and 6T used to come with that, along with two short insulated terminal strip. This made it easy to revert to the stock system as a back up.
But the concept is pretty easy to execute. The MSD has an internal on/off relay. Wire the MSD on/off relay to the car's ignition 'run' wire. When the key is in Run or Start, the MSD's internal relay will switch on, and the MSD will operate using power drawn from the heavy red wire.
Wire the MSD's coil wires to the coil. Remove the original ignition run wire. You can connect the MSD red on/off wire to it if that's convenient. Just be sure to insulate/isolate from touching grounds or other wires.
This is an older set of instructions.
Was it a 6C? Those came with a connector that mated right to the Chrysler ECU connector.
Might need some ring ring terminals and connector for the magnetic pickup.
