'Whaler,
Try this. Can you trace out the other end of the IGN SW Coil wire? From what you are telling me I am assuming that it's just a short wire that runs from the 'IGN' terminal of the switch directly to the coil to provide the 12V when the ignition switch is energized. If this is the case, you're all set. Just wire the one end to the ignition switch and the second end to the small red MSD wire (the 'switched power' wire, as MSD refers to it). Wire in a toggle switch if you like, somewhere inconspicuous, so it's not easily found. Let us know where the second end of that wire goes. If it's a painless kit, I believe it will say PPI or something to that effect directly on the fuse block. Does it? We'll get to the bottom of this yet ...
Mike"
Mike it looks to simply go back and ORIGINATE at the fuse block. I also looked under the hood and the only wires marked for the coil are all spoken for and connected. Nothing is wired back to the coil except my "original harness independant" MSD wiring
As I said before I am using the complete MSD system, so the coil only sees the black and orange wires that MSD feeds it.
This is where my confusion occurs in that I think the harness wire marked "Ign Sw coil" is a redundancy. I believe the MSD AL6 will supply the coil its voltage, not the harness wire (asking to be wired to my ignition switch)
But the catch is that we must wire that other small red MSD wire to the switched 12 volts on my ign sw.
I take it thats the On terminal of the ign switch? ( switched on and off by the key)
Sorry for the confusion but does this sound likely?
