I am putting in a larger SBC in over winter, old engine used the distributer with inbuilt coil but I now have an MSD distributor and separate coil and so of course the wiring is different. Also have an MDS rev limiter fitted.

Anyone know the new wire setup please?

I have
Distributer - Pink/black and Purple/black
Ultima White/black and white.
MSD rev limiter - red, black, green, white.

Anyone with a similar setup please?

Paul.

There are plenty of wiring diagrams on line but most are for the MSD 6A or 6AL system. Have you tried a google of the dizzy or rev limiter part numbers?

On the Ultima side the White is most likely ignition switched live and the White/Black is tacho signal to the dash.

Hi Steve, thanks.... yes realised I have a bit missing ! so buying an MSD 6AL which will sort things! Comes with a rev limiter so will make my existing MSD rev limiter redundant.

I have a 6AL under the bench somewhere if you want one.
