depends how you want to hook it up,
i had mine hooked up throught the leading coil + and - wires frome the terminals
I unhooked the coil wires and connected the small white wire and i think a small red wire to the coil wires (red + white -) then hooked the large red and black wires to the battery and hookd the small orange wire to + on the coil and small black to the -
or
not using the white whire you can hook the small red wire to the + wire from the leading coil and tape up the - wire, take your leading igniter off the front of you distributor file down two male spade connestors until they fir in the magnetic pick up. take off you dist cap and note the wires going to the mag pickup ggreen wire in the dist goes to purple on the mag pickup on the MSD and the red wire in the dist goes to the green on th MSD, hook up to your battry and play

Purple and green wire hook up to the distributor. Before the igniter.
Orange + side of coil
Black - side of coil
