ur engine using distributor or external coil??... if ur distributor only has 4 cables coming out (for a 4cylinder engine la), u will need to modify ur distributor... if it has 5 cables, means the middle cable connects to ur external coil...

basic wiring for MSD is..

RED - Switched 12 volt source.
ORANGE - Connects to coil negative.
BLACK - Connects to engine ground.
WHITE - Points or electronic ignition trigger
MAGNETIC PICKUP - 2-Pin Connector
VIOLET - Positive (+)
GREEN - Negative (-)

Note: The White wire and magnetic pickup wiring will never
be connected at the same time.
