MSD 6A Ignition box problem
Ok, I tired to hook up my MSD 6a ignition box and coil Thursday and it didn't come through good. Quick over view to what I hooked up to what wires on the ignition box...
Heavy Red - Battery +
Heavy Black - Battery -
Black - Coil -
Orange - Coil +
White - White/Blue off original coil
Red - Black/Yellow off original coil
When I hooked it all up this way car didn't start, but when I just hooked up the Blaster 2 Coil by itself fired right up.... if anyone knows what might be my problem let me know
Thanks

did you pull a plug to see if your getting spark? also move that heavy black to a chasis ground. one of the 10mm bolts around the engine bay would work.

I'm gonna try and move that ground around to see if anything happens... I couldn't check for spark cause i didn't have anyone else around to crank the motor for me but I'm gonna try this again tomorrow

Re: MSD 6A Ignition box problem (Dropped90Integra)
Ok, solved the problem.
These wires
White - White/Blue off original coil
Red - Black/Yellow off original coil
were backwards. When I switched them around it fired right up but with a nasty misfire, I checked the ground and it was kinda crap so I fixed it, started it and purred like a kitten. Does anyone know why my car would have it workin with those wires running to the opposite than what MSD directions say.... or I guess those directions are just a general idea for Imports?? for anyone with future problems with a OBD 0 DA or any for that fact
