Anybody got any diagrams on how to set-up the wiring on an OBD1 distributor and what not...I did a search and came up with nothing...

Or does anyone have a link or step-by-step install instructions...thanks for the help guys...btw, its a MSD BTM for stock ignition...

Jackson racing has a write up on it for the obd1 cars. Unfortunatly I have a obd2 so I am still wondering the same question. I should help you

 

is it on their site then? ill check that out...I know I can't find jack on msd's site

 

anybody know how jackson's btc compares with the msd version...is the wiring basically the same or what...insight would be great

yeah i knew they had something about the msd 6btm, but it doesnt go into any great detail...

 

ttt...

 

If you use the stock coil:
BTM->Distributor
Red to Black/Yellow (coil +) (coming from ICM)
White to White/Blue (coil -) (coming from ICM)
Black to coil - screw (on coil itself)
orange to coil + screw (on coil also)

BIG red to batt +
BIG black to battery -

if you use the MSD coil, connect the small red and black to the new coil and follow inctructions that came with it.
As far as the wires go, you can run them through the port on the back-side of the dist. OR you can just cut a slot in the cap. I have a slot now, but will run it through the grommet next time I change the cap. Ignore the magnetic pick-up that comes off of the btm, as well. I think that is all. Cool? If it's unclear, it's all on the msd site, somewhere...

 

when we got everything connected the car wouldnt even spark...we took it off and it was fine...

also, what do you mean by BIG black and red? there are only one black and one red wire and they go to the dist...or do you splice those to power/battery also?
