Another one for ya
Are you guys sick of my questions yet ? lol.
I bought 2 MSD soft touch rev limiters, and am having trouble figuring out where the wires go.
The part number is 8728...and my biggest issue is what type of ignition system I have. I think I have a standard thunderbolt setup (I have the wide wire plug on the outside of the distributor...its bolted to the dist.). There are 5 wires coming from the MSD unit. The black is obviously ground. I think the red goes to the positive side of the coil. And I think the green goes to the negative side of the coil. I'm struggling with where the white goes...and I'm not sure if I need the violet. Does the white go on the neg side also ? I'm just not sure what type of ignition I have. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I would say red goes to +12V. Black and white go to ground. Green goes to coil negative. Voilet goes to distributor pick-up positive. Look on the distributor at the module, wires usually are white/red and white/green. The distributor may have the plus minus orientation on the terminals.

Thanks...but thats what the PDF file is above (the link). I was hoping someone would decipher it for me a little better, seeing as I'm not positive what ignition I have.

Do you have white/red and white/green wires running to the distributor. You likely have Thunderbolt ignition, you can match the magnetic pick-up wiring schematic. The distributor may have a plus and minus marking by the terminals.
