Re: Changing 72 SST 360 Distrbutor - MSD

Steve,

I don't think the ballast resiistor is suppossed to be used with an MSD 
box. The thing is suppossed to have peak voltage available.

Get a set of instructions for a MSD 6 and you will see that a DIODE is 
called for to stop the run on problem. Or, you can simply snip the wire 
feeding your Dash light for ALT. and you will stop hsaving run on.

The light comes on, this back feeds the MSD and the car runs just like 
the key was in it and it was running. Add a Diode as MSD says, or snip 
the wire and you can toss the ballast resistor.

In case you did not know, there is a book available thru MSD with every 
wire diagram for all their products. This is a great book to have if you 
are messing with Hi.Po cars and MSDs. It covers every type distributor 
hook up as well.
