[Chevelle-list] MSD 6AL Installation with Pertonix module.
I will be installing an MSD6AL ignition box when I change out my heads. I have a Pertonix ignition module in my stock distributer and the diagram in the MSD box shows a diagram for the installation of the box with Pertonix. My problem is this, the diagram shows to hook the switched line from the ignition switch to the red line off of the Pertonix module and to another line from the MSD box, I don't have the diagram in front of me so I don't remember the color of the wire off of the MSD box but I have two wires coming through the fire wall now hooked to the positive side of the coil along with the red line from the Pertonix module. My question is this, do I hook both of these wires to the red line off of the Pertonix module and the line to the MSD box? Sorry for the long winded post and thanks in advance for any help. John L.

Hi John, The number of wires to hook together is four. 1) The ignition switch 2) Pertronics module 3) MSD6AL power 4) The wire to the starter solenoid Hope this helps. Chuck K 65 Malibu 327 - 4 speed

Thanks to all that answered my first post. I have another question though for everyone on the list. Did anyone have to install the diode in the line going to terminal #4 off of the external voltage regulator when they put an MSD6AL box on their car if they were still using an external regulator?
