Exclamation Help... Need help with my msd...

Alright... i got my msd 6al in today, and started putting the damn thing in. Unfortunatly my original coils cracked when i tried to take the bolts off. So i have to get a ride to napa to get new ones. But the question is this. My Haynes manual is AWOL, so i need to know which coil is the trailing... the front or rear. Also, whats a good 12v power source to hook the msd up to so it knows when the car is on. And last... i bought the msd 6al, and i was wondering where the extra wires under the cap go, or if i need to hook them up at all.

Any help would be appreciated.. i have to get to work tomorrow, and i need to get this done by about 1.

Thanks,
Billy

I had alook at my car and the trailing coil is the coil at the front of the car ( the one with the blue capped coil lead on)

As for the MSD wires ??????? If its not in Mazspeeds write up or YAW's I presume its somthing to with the rev limiter so it shouldn't stop the car from running ?

P.S this is just my opinion and not hard facts ... please don't blame me if somthing breaks

Hook the main power wires to the battery with a fuse on the positive.

The coil to the front of the car should be the trailing coil.

You should really get the Blaster 2 coils. $28 each from Summit
