4.6.5 MSD and other single channel capacitive discharge ignitions
Capacitive discharge boxes are a popular choice to deliver a strong spark when running a distributorless ignition
is not an option. Many of these are intended for an unusually high current signal instead of a logic level output. To
use one of these boxes, connect the Tach Out wire on the MS3Pro to the ignition box’s points trigger. The MSD 6A
box used a white wire for this input, and most other CDI boxes have followed their lead.
