how would I find a wiring short?

I recently took my car to the dyno, but it couldnt be tuned right because the ignition kept cutting off.. The power band would cut off for milliseconds at a time. The tuner told me it was the ignition, so I bypassed the MSD 6AL and ran only the external coil, but it still was the same.. When I drive the car I cant tell if its cutting off or not, so the only way to know is on the dyno. So I want to fix it before I hit the dyno again.

any suggestions, comments, feedback would be appreciated...

find out what wires need to be checked

find out what polarity they should be when the ignition is on OR off

test the wires until you find the problem...

I'd suggest doing this.
