From the MSD box:
Heavy Red to battery pos.
Heavy Black to battery neg.
Thin Red to the factory wire that went to the pos coil.
Thin Orange to the pos coil.
Thin Black to the neg coil.
Thin White is to be taped up (you won't use it).

From the Magnetic Pickup cable (connected to the MSD box):
Green wire to the Distributor Purple wire.
Violet wire to the Distributor Orange wire.
(Black wire from Distributor isn't used)

That's it.

Take care,
~Chris

It's just a hot wire from the ignition switch; one that has 12 volts whenever the key is in the ON or START position.

Take care,
