I have a late car 74 and am converting to MSD. What diagram am I using to wire the 8920 adapter? Voltage triggered?
The cars original wiring includes a light blue resistance run wire. Is this wire used with the MSD?
Do I disregard the orange/blk wire in the start circuit?

I am in the process of re-connecting my MSD wiring today as well.

Having read all the MSD wiring schematics for our application, I am confused re: the yellow wire that comes from my cat's wiring harness.

I don't recall this wire from when I disconnected my MSD. I believe it connects to the right large post on my solenoid as per the pic below ... correct?
