That's not a dumb question at all. The violet/green wires from your MSD box will run to either your distributor or a crank trigger. If the little wires that come out of your distributor run to nothing (the plug is not hooked up to anything) then you have a crank trigger. If they run to your MSD box then you have regular magnetic pickup. The overwhelming odds are that you do not have a crank trigger.
