Default Smart coils
Does anyone know how to wire up smart coils to work with the MSD boxes.

Are smart coils something different than regular coils?

Because the MSD box comes with a harness that plugs directly into the stock coils.

Unless you have either Holley system mentioned above, you might have a hard time with the MSD box, as they aren't designed for each other

People run them with other systems. They’re the same as all smart coils. Just don’t personally know anyone locally that has done it.
