I don't think it was an updated points model. There are two wires coming out of the dizzy...same colors as the MSD wires, with a compatible connector. Was billed as "MDS compatible
The Black/Orange wire from the distributor connects to the Violet wire on the 6' MSD harness, and the Black/Violet from the distributor connects to the Green wire of the MSD harness. It is very easy to believe the Black/Violet connects to the Violet but it is not correct. To verify the condition of the magnetic pickup, check the ohms rating while it is accesable.
