Hello all,

I am currently in the middle of a very simple install of the MSD 6AL ignition system. I have a 72 240, with a 280ZX electronic distributor with E12-80 Ignition module. Does anyone have any tips, or tricks that might make me avoid a headache? wiring schematic? Also where have been the best places to mount the MSD box? I have it temporarily located next to the clutch master cylinder under the acces panel. Thanks for any helpful tips.

Dave.

Morning Guys, My 6AL is mounted on the right strut tower so I didnt have to lenthen the power wire to the battery. I was wondering if Steve could tell us what the small silver box above his 6AL is? I havent seen that piece on anyone else's car.

I'm still trying to figure out what the little red round cylinder is between the MSD and the unknown silver box.

How about a schematic of how this is all wired up and what the components are Greyghost?

The box is the tach adapter p/n 8920. This install is on a 72 Z and was required because it has a voltage triggered tach.

The round red item is the noise capacitor p/n 8830. It is primarily a voltage safety item for the 6AL. See attachment.
