Need Help!! Trying to stall MSD ignition 6AL

[mgilroy311]

Hey guys I have been running into a few problems wiring the MSD ignition digital 6AL.. I have 1966 Chevy c10 with a chevy 350 and it has a accel distributor.
I currently have the follow hooked up.

Big Red-(+) On Battery
Big Black- (-) On Battery
Orange- (+) I have no idea where on the coil it goes
Thin Black- (-) I have no idea where on the coil it goes
Red- Triggers for the system to turn on and off i can figure out where the splice that into

White - no idea where it should go if im supposed to use it
i do understand they are not to be used together.
Violet and green - no idea if i should be using it and were it goes.


I have searched the internet but im assuming it such an easy install no have ever did a how to... thanks for any help

Red is power that's on when the key is on and in start position. Orange is +coil. Small black is -coil and white is to points or ignition amplifier. If you're using and HEI the wiring is different but you can Google msd wiring diagrams and find their website and instructions for wiring any kind of distributor etc.

thank for you response but i guess i should rephrase it a little

I dont know where the + or - on the coil is. Do i have to splice the wire or is it supposed to connect in somewhere...

Also what is the points or ignitino amplifier?

Let's start this way what distributor do you have

Start at page 13 for HEI ignition.
MSD Instructions

and

Supercoil Instructions

Exact wiring depends on which module is inside the distributor. I had the 4 pin / magnetic triggered so I removed it and used the #8861 bypass harness described in the instructions.
