Hello!!!
Been awhile since I've logged in (almost forgot my password.. lol) Hope you all have been well!!
I dug the boat out and started installing some goodies I got over winter and I can't seem to get an MSD 6M-2 ignition to work
I have it hooked up with the magnetic trigger wires (white one taped) . My boat seems it's firing on all cylinders when I try to start it..
That leads me to believe that it's not a magnetic type distributor. I am told it's basically a HEI with remote mounted coil. Is that correct? There's a green and a purple wire coming out of it, which I have hooked up to the mag trigger wires on the MSD.
I have scoured MSD for info and it may appear I need to use the white points trigger wires instead of the magnetic trigger but that's for ford and a GM dual wire coil, maybe it applies?
Has anybody hooked one up to their newer Volvo Penta/SX boat?
Any help or info is appreciated.
