I have a 1968 440 in my 70 Duster.......I am upgrading the entire ignition system and I have a few questions on a installing a full MSD system.
MSD 6AL box
MSD 32739 wires
MSD 8202 coil
MSD Pro Billet 8546 distributor
Champion RJ12YC plugs
I have the MSD distributor installed, the MSD coil mounted and the MSD 6AL mounted
I bought some 10G wire and an inline (blade) fuse and have the BLACK/RED wires from the MSD ignition box wired up, with ring terminal connects to the battery
The ORANGE/BLACK wires from the MSD ignition box I connected to the MSD coil
Last thing is the RED/WHITE wires from the MSD ignition box..........can someone help me out there? Instructions say:
RED to switched 12V
WHITE to points or amplified trigger
I believe the WHITE does not get used and the RED is the wire that basically turns the ignition box on and off...........but I am not fully understanding where it goes or how to hookup/bypass/jump the wires/ballast resistor
I read two posts that say:
-Just bypass the coil resistor, take the old coil+ wire and connect that to the small red on the box.
-Blue and brown wire at ballast, tie together to feed you small red wire on MSD
So I have a ballast with 4 connection points. Two are use/hooked up and two are not. One ballast connection has a single wire terminal and the other connections has a two wire terminal.
Here is, I believe, the ballast resistor laying on the driver side fender:

I would appreciate any and all suggestions on the last small RED wire connection for the MSD ignition
