Default MSD 6AL Questions

Looking for information on how the MSD 6AL is connected to an Facotry Optispark. What may be needed, any links to information that may actually explain somebody elses experience.

The msd box does not directly hook up to the opti. It connects to the coil (which connects to the opti). I highly recommend you use a msd wiring harness for ease of installation (makes things a breeze). Next all you need to do is give it power via the battery, then ground it. You are done.

Yeah use MSD#8876 wiring harness and you will probably spend more time figuring out where to put the box than the actual time it takes to hook it up.
