Hi guys, long story short...
Bought a project a few weeks ago, been putting it together now im tackling the ignition. The PO doesnt know what year the motor is nor what distributor it currently has. Ive basically taken the distributor apart and there are no markings whatsoever on it. I took it to autozone/asked around and all anyone can tell me is that it is a MSD style and/or something from summit or jegs???
I went ahead and bought a MSD-6A module/MSD blaster coil because I was sure I needed it but my buddy who knows a bit more about "engine stuff" says I might not need it?? He thinks it has a built in coil at the very least and might not need the module either. Im not even going to pretend like I know because im clueless about this stuff. Im a points kind of person ;p
I dont want to return the MSD stuff and find out I do need it so ive posted a few pictures of the distributor installed. I also included a pic of some number stamped on the motor. Im sure someone can point me in the right direction. I just want to know what I have and hopefully be able to download an instruction manual or something for my dist.
Thanks in advance!
Does that plug in pic 3 go back into the dist or into a harness for the MSD? My friend plugged it into a port located on the underside of the cover where the red and yellow wires collect in picture 4, and thinks the other two leads that are there are for ignition and ground but I just dont understand why you would have a harness plug into itself!!
