you might want to specify if you want a stock points dizzy or an EI(remote or matchbox). The points dizzies also had single and dual point versions.

I'm replacing a EI [unclear about remote or matchbox] Car does have MSD/6A.

Thanks for you help.

The matchbox has the module mounted on the side of the dizzy.....looks like the one datsunmike posted in your other thread(which I just found). The remote just has some wires hanging out. You can use that style and connect it to a GM ignition module....PacCoast did a write up on it.

 

You can use the other pedestals, you just may have to drop the oil pump and reclock the dizzy drive. Hainz has some write up on that.

..oh...just saw the msd listed......I've never run one, but if it will take a pulse rather than a ground signal, you can probably hook it straight up to the remote style dizzy

 

 

......just did a quick search....says the 6A can be triggered by points or a magnetic pickup......so you should be able to trigger it with the remote style. If you get a matchbox...I probably wouldn't bother with the msd.

 

Some where in here is the wiring....

It was a "Matchbox", just found a picture prior to disasembly. Has module on the side and wires from MSD match ends of Distributor Wires.

Thanks also for the wiring page.

using the MSD box, use a remote ignitor dizzy. looks cleaner too.
