Power Wires

Well i have 1 wire left to hook up on my MSD install. Its the wire that only gets power when the key is on. I go to start testing wires to find that my voltmeter no longer works. Can someone tell me a wire that only gets power when the key is on

BTW it'll work on negative for about a week before it fails spectacularly. Ask me how I know.

Also, if you would like to know how to convert the leading ignition from MSD back to stock using the trailing ignition and no tools but the metal clip from a pen, on the side of the road, in the dark and freezing cold, all you have to do is ask.

Remove the igniter, file down the connectors on the MSD wire, jam them into where the igniter plugs in, then heavily insulate with liquid electrical tape.
