The big red msd power wire is coming off the big lug on the starter. The big black msd ground wire is is grounded to the body underneath the battery tray. I know the MSD directions said to run the wires directly from the battery but that just looked like someone wiring in a cheap (sparkomatic) car stereo.

I'm pretty sure I have the MSD white wire and the small red MSD trigger wire connected correctly, since the car started and ran fine for 15 years. I will definitely check all of that again.

If you want to know why I didn't wire the MSD directly to the mag pick up: Well. I guess I would have to say that I wasn't confident in my ability to do that at the time.

I got the MSD as a Christmas present and put it in the car during a snow storm. When it worked the first time out, I was pretty excited.

And everything worked fine until now.


I will definitely try what you suggested and get back to you
