MSD's are set up for a "points trigger".... if wired correctly.
I've been using the MSD 6AL -- I like the electronic limiter over the old style chips.
There are two circuits that can be used to trigger the MSD Ignition; a Points circuit (White wire) and a Magnetic Pickup circuit (Violet and Green wires). The two circuits will never be used together.
White Wire: This wire is used to connect to the points, electronic ignition amplifier output or to the Yellow wire of an MSD Timing Accessory. When this wire is used, the Magnetic Pickup connector is not used.
