I'm puttin in all new msd ignition setup (ie. pro-billet distro, blaster 2 coil, and 6al box). Only issue i'm runnin into is what do i hook the Magnetic pickups to? Do i hook them up to the original (+) and (-) that were on the coil since the orange and black from the 6al go to the coil now? also a lil question, the yellow/light green wiring coming out of the plug from the module going to the EEC has a connector with a plug in it, what is that connector used for?

All you do is hook the box up to the battery. The wires that hooked to the coil before are now hooked to the ignition. The output wires from the ignition go to your coil. The magnetic pick-up is not needed.

Did you buy the kit that makes it plug and play?

No i didn't get the kit. Ok, i think i got it now though. Appreciate the help. Should be done this afternoon hopefully

i had it worked out. I'm 99.16890% sure everything is hooked up right. Since my Batt is in the back, (1) Pos is goin to solenoid, (2) Neg is grounded to engine, (3) orange is to coil Pos, (4) black is to coil Neg, (5) small red is to 12v (original coil Pos), (6) white is to orginal coil Neg. Now i'm not getting any spark, took a multimeter, and im gettin continuity from everything, except the orange to the coil... But did the 'check spark test' in the msd manual, by disconnecting the coil plug and touched the white to a ground, and its sparking. Also tried with my stock coil that was still good, same thing, nothing. ANy body got any ideas???

anyone?

For your thick red wire that you say is going to solenoid is that a constant or ignition? should be constant.
As for the rest those are correct.

Foxbody87

yea it is, its the wire that should go to the battery, but i moved the battery

Ok, everything is hooked up properly, but i'm gettin nuthin out of the coil. used a multimeter and im not reading any power coming out of the Pos on the coil, but i know its good cause i hooked it up before the Dist and Box and it started fine.
