MSD 6AL-2 Installation on a 12-A

I need to know if anyone has done the MSD 6AL-2 ignition installation on a 1985 12-A with electronic distributor and hopefully wanted to share pictures or a diagram for the wiring of this system on this type of engine.
thanks!

This is what MSD sent me, I don't use a trailing MSD.

This is what MSD sent me, I don't use a trailing MSD. Been working fine for 6 months. MSD6.

If you call them, they have excellent customer service and will send you the exact diagram you need.

Here's the guy I got my info from, second image.

I followed scott bakers writeup also to the T, and havent had a problem in 3 yrs since I installed it. Juantii pm me and I can send you pics of my install on how I installed 4 coils, 2 for the msd box and 2 for factory wiring in case msd box fails, so you dont get left stranded on the side of the road.
