Need help finishing up hooking up a msd box on a 2 cyl. Where does the red wire from the dist. go? Have the pertronix in it. Directions aren't really clear. Can anyone tell me where the wires from the dist. go? Thanks.

Look at the back of the instruction wiring diagram. This gives you the diagram for a Pertronix set-up. I don't remember right off hand but I could look tonight if you need. Am putting the same set-up on an A.

Here's where I'm at...connected ignition to red wire on msd, and followed all other directions...but, doesn't show exactly where red wire from distributor should go. Should it go to positive side of coil like originally? Also, need to run kill switch. Shouldn't power go through that to break the current? Having major brain fart here! Thanks in advance for all help!

The red wire from the Distributor should connect to the smaller red wire from the MSD(not the larger battery power). These two wires then connect to the ignition switch for power. I have my "Dead Man Switch" between the power to the ignition switch and the ignition switch. MSD does have a web-site with instructions similar to the manual you recieved in the box:www.msdignitions.com.
