these?



Those wires aren't doing **** for my MSD Rev Control, they are probably the wrong wires.

I was told I need to run them directly to the coil inside the dizzy.

Hatchinprogress...

I contacted MSD - It must be wired between the ignitior and the coil, which is inside the distributor cap.

all you need to do is access the wires at the coil.

1. remove your dist cap.
2. notice the coil wires blk/yel + and white/blue -
3. disconnect wires from coil.
4. tape up and extend them outside the dizzy throug the grommet.
5. connect the new extended wires to your new coil.

note both coils cannot be connected at the same time

wd-40 is not a penetrating lube, use pb blaster.
