Orielly's and others sell and stock the MSD module. If not available locally use can substitute the parts from a 74-83 ford engine (same module) with different connectors. Carefully grind the rivet heads and push out the rivets. Do this carefully and do not fracture the magnet when pressing out the rivets. Keep the magnet in the same position(do not flip it over). When reconnecting the wires the black/orange connects to the violet wire from the MSD Box, and the black/purple one to the green one. Adjust the air gap to about .025-.030.
