    Red face MSD Box and Blaster Coil Wiring Question

    I bought a MSD Box and Blaster coil to help reduce the plug fouling problems I have been having on my 67 911S motor. I am guessing that others on this board are running this set-up on their early 911S SWB engines as well due to our deep pocket heads ? If so, can anyone post some pictures showing the wiring and positioning of their set-up? I already have a Permatune 6 plug box installed so I generally understand that 2 of the wires go to the battery (+ and -), two to the coil (+ and -), one to the distributor, and one to the tach. I just want to look at someone elses work so there are no questions left in my mind. Also, can anyone confirm if I will need some type of adaptor kit from MSD in order to have my Tach gauge work properly? I have assumed that since I already have a CD box set-up that the Tach will accept any CD unit, but I have been wrong before - more than I would like to admit...
    Thanks

    You might try this post over at Pelican. There are countless MSD fans over there. A search may yield pics of the wiring set-up as well. To build your enthusiasm, here's a pic of Ron Madaio's install in progress. He posts as RoninLB over there. His MSD unit of choice is the (blue) Marine unit. Evidently they are built tougher than the more common red ones, with more corrosion & vibration resistance.

    I just had the MSD installed a few days ago. I would love to show you pics, except that I'm leaving for Tahoe right now. I can post pics on Sunday, if you can wait that long.

    I had MSD on my 67S and was very impressed with the cold runing, no more plug fouling etc. I purchesd the MSD adapter for the tack. it did not work, I also had a Bosch CD box onmy car. I sent the tack to North Hollwood speedmeters (818) 761-5136 and they made the Tack work. Fritz

    Tyson,
    Can you take some close ups of the wiring. I am hoping to see what wires I need to connect to. Thanks.

    Here are some. Did you check out MSD's website? It has wiring instructions. It's on page 10 of the PDF instruction file.
