Have a MSD6 - called MSD and they can't even tell me, and i can't find this in any of the older catalogs I have. I have the normal 5 pin Mopar plug on one end - then a wire and also a female on the other end. The female says Batt. Just wondering if this is correct or ? Will post pics soon.

nuther pic of the MSD6

Where it says battery I'm think that is where the tach wire goes I could be wrong but that's the same one in my brothers car

That's what i thought too. I hate seeing smoke after installing electrical parts. Your Bro has the same exact MSD6 with the 5 pin connector on one end and the female and the wire on the other end?

Wait for Cab, he will know this box.

Any pictures of the other plug end

That sounds like the old MSD 6c. The 5 pin end let you plug the box directly into the factory wiring(if you had electronic ignition). The spade end should be for the tach if I remember right.

I used to have a couple of MSD 6C boxes with the 5pin connectors. They had a #12 black bat neg -,#12 red bat pos +, and a tach connection on one end and the Chry. 5 pin on the other end. They used no ballast resistor


If looking at the 5 pin going clock wise (12 o'clock)ign hot, mag pick up neg-, mag pick up pos+, coil pos, coil neg.

The black wire shown with the blue tape has an eyelet on it. I know the later MSD6 has dedicated + and - wires on on end and the normal connectors on the other. This one has the 5 pin and what is shown in the second image. I knew of the 6C but for the life of me cannot find a schematic of it.

That should be the ground. The spade above the wire is for the tach. I used to have the schematic on the 6c. I will check and see if I still have one.

Wow I had a 6C in the late 70's in my 72 GTX

Here is what I came up with. Its for a 7c the connections are in different locations than the 6c but should still be similar. Hope it helps. [img:left]http://[/img]

Have this photo. I have a msd 6c that i bought in 1978. It still works and have instructions also.

70AARcuda - thanks. But to clarify since you have a 6C - does your module have the female and a black wire on the other end from this 5 pin connector? Thanks to all that have replied. As for why I am trying to use this antique - it was a good friends unit who passed away. It worked on his car and he had it as a back up unit. We had a joke going about not throwing good stuff away - and in general not throwing anything away. So I want to use this thing so he can "ride" around with me as I cruise the places we used to cruise back in the day. Silly? - yep.

It is in the shop...Will check tomorrow.

It has the red lead for the battery and the black negative wire on the other end from the 5 pin connector...plus it has the tach output too

Thanks - sounds like my unit is a tad different than most - I had a 6 that had the dedicated + and - plus the 5 pin - this relic has just the black ( I assume - ) on the end plus a tach plug.
