MSD setup instructions

Go on the MSD website and click on techsupport email and tell them you're setup and they'll make you a wiring diagram for you're type of setup.

I've also been having what I think is ignition problems. One day I just started running like if it was running on one rotor. I checked the spark and I was getting a faint spark on the leading and a decent on the trailing. I just ordered two more SS blasters for the leading so I'll have a total of 4 MSD SS blasters, one for each sparkplug. Later I'll get a DIS 2 for the Leading and Trailing. Hopefully this is the problem. If not I'm stumped.
