MSD wiring question
« on: November 14, 2016 - 01:33:00 AM »
Coming off MSD distributor is a purple/black wire and a black/orange wire.

These two wires are to connect to a MSDAL Box, which has a purple wire and a
green wire.

I assume the two wires with purple in them connect?

Just looked and my black/purple from the MSD distrib is going to the green wire, so maybe it doesn't matter?

Basically it's just sending the signal and I believe the connector is keyed so it can only go one way.

two esposed wires to hook back up.
