Here is a diagram I used to wire my 6A box. I too have a pertronix ignition system (which is what you have). The MSD box is a good way to go. I am very pleased with it. Hope the link works. E-mail me if it doesn't and I will send it to you.

Thanks for the diagram. Has anybody noticed any power gains? I'm not expecting one to give it any more power. I've heard that it makes quicker starts and doesn't foul plugs as bad.

How much you gain will depend on what you have now. If you have a solid ignition system with good points, plugs, and wires - and solid connections - I doubt you will gain much of anything. I changed the plugs on my car last week for example. The old ones were completely worn out, but I got no improvement in gas mileage despite putting in new platinum plugs.

As to how it makes the plugs last longer - again this depends. One thing for sure, with a higher voltage, you will fire through a dirtier plug. With a higher voltage, you *can* widen the gap. This *might* give you more spark. If this helps you, I couldn't say.

I prefer electronic ignotion for one simple reason: Far less upkeep. It is almost an install it and forget it thing.
