Msd 6al Digital - 10/28/11 03:26 AM

Can someone tell me if I wired this correctly. I installed an msd 6al box, I hooked up the thin red wire to the ignition 1 terminal on the ballast resistor. This connector had one blue wire, and I jointed the red to the blue and left it on the ballast resistor.

The other side of the ballast resistor is ignition 2 and it has a blue and brown wire on it. I left that alone. I know it works but if the resistor burns out will the car run?

bypass resistor.

Like said, bypass the ballast completely, I run a 10* jumper wire.

Also, if not done already, run a heavy red wire from your alternator, directly to your starter relay, or where your MSD 12 v is placed. It not only will ensure high voltage to your MSD, it will not push all the voltage through your firewall stock wiring. You probably have already done this. Just wanted to mention it. Good luck

as stated, ballast is not required with multi-spark, the coil never has time to heat up enough. to relieve future problems take it totally out of the eguation. alot of guys who want to retain a somewhat stock look dig out the filler in the back of the ballast an run a #10 wire jumper from terminal to terminal.

Let me understand this better. I want to keep the factory look so I can just leave the wires on the ballast resistor and jumper both terminals with 10 gauge wire.
