I had a points distributor and switched to electronic, need some help wiring it up. I have a bundle of wires for coil, alternator, and distributor and don't know what goes were? I'm also wiring in an MSD 6AL box as well.
Thanks Brad

MSD requires power from both the blue 12v run wire & the brown start wire to the small red trigger wire for the MSD
 the MSD has wiring for the coil & dist , the factory wires for the Dist & coil are not used , neither is the ballast resister
