is your dizzy or ignition messed up? my friends msd ign. messed up and the lite would turn on/off alot even when parked then he hooked up his stock ign. after the msd went out and the lite now works

Did you connect it to the blue wire in the dash?
If that didnt work connect it to the negative coil wire.
