MSD 6AL ignition box
Thanks guys, I will try wiring the blue and brown together and connecting that to the small red.
As stated in the original post - I did the spark test with the ignition in run and it produced a spark at the coil wire - according to MSD this means that the box is working and wired correctly. I also made sure the distributor was turning.
The only wires to the coil are the orange and black from the msd box and I spliced the violet and green wire onto the distributor magnetic trigger.
I tested all grounds and everything checked out.
I charged the battery over night, so we will see if the voltage drops off - it read at 75% when I hooked the charger up.
