Exactly where are these wires in the engine compartment? i can tell the colors of the wires coming from the MSD box, but i cannot find the other wires. this may be because they are painted black. the previous owner spray painted the engine bay walls and coated most of the wires at the same time. also, the wires coming from the msd box are spliced down to wiring harnesses, are there matching harnesses somewhere in the engine compartment? or would they have to be installed as well?

Would a 6A be worth putting on a TII? I have one on my FB and it didn't make too much of a difference, but it does only have about 140 at the flywheel max. If it'd help my TII, I'll put the first gen back stock
