Hi All,
To hook up my MSD-6AL to my Duraspark ii distributor I bought the 8869 harness as recommended by the manual. However, the harness I got has the wires inverted. Now, i paid for a harness so I want the darn thing to work as it should. So I wont be splicing the wires and calling it a day. I called MSD (holley) and they're gonna replace it.
This post is for those who get screwed in the future.
Here's the wiring diagram per the manual:
MSD box green (-) <--> Distributor violet (-)
MSD box violet (+) <--> Distributor orange (+)
Here's my setup using a new harness MSD-8869
Top is coming from MSD box
Middle is harness
My finger is holding the distributor side of the hookup
Note that the wiring goes Green (-) -> Violet -> Orange (+)
So tonight I'll cut and splice the wires on top and then see if my vacuum advance finally works. When the new harness gets here I'll swap it out.
