MSD 6AL-2 wiring diagram anyone

[richberman]

I was wondering if anyone had a wiring diagram of how you wired your MSD ignition. I’m using points, so I can see they want me to disconnect the original wiring harness connections to the coil and replace them with the MSD orange and black leads. White wire from MSD replaces wire to dizzy. Red to ignition.
My questions are:
1)Where did you jump the Heavy Red and Heavy blacks to get battery power?
2) How did you wire in the battery cutoff switch?
3)What did you do with the original coil wires on the original harness?
thanks,
rich
You can see pictures of where I mounted here...

Hi Rich,

I don't have my car here, so I can't verify the wiring for you, but I would've used their standard diagram for a <span style="font-style: italic">contact points</span> trigger.

Are you using an MSD coil too? It's less complicated with the early cars, having a mechanical tachometer.

Randy,
Yes, I'm using a blaster II coil. I think I figured it out now. I'm going to attach the heavy red to the starter solenoid, the heavy black to chassis ground. The orange and black to the coil. white to dizzy and red to ignition (NU lead). Then I think I'll need to connect the two W wires which used to attach to the S.W. terminal of the coil so that the circuit from the 35amp fuse to the ignition switch is continuous. The WB wire from the battery master switch I will just disconnect since I have a modern battery cutoff which doesn't give me a way to connect this wire.
Am I all correct here?
thanks,
rich

Here's how I mounted it....using 3 of the 4 rubber mounts.

Here's the blaster II:

Sounds right. MSD schematics are pretty clear, and there's not that many wires to deal with.
