MSD help.!

I got a msd 6al box for my fc, i was lookin into msd setups for the fc, and saw that unless you have three boxes hooked up, u could not use the 2step function,
The only reason i got the box is to be able to use the launch controll, or 2step,
if some body can point me in the right direction, it would be grately apprecialted, also, if any body has any wiring digrams for this setup it will be greatly appreciated!!

Even with three boxes I doubt it will work. The fancy functions of most of those boxes require them to know how many cylinders are on the car and generally take the signal directly from the VR/optical/points pickup. This isn't possible with our ignition due to trailing split and a dual wheel trigger.

I could be wrong, though.

Yeah, hooking up a MSD/Crane/generic CDI box to run the coils is easy. I've run a HI-6 on my car for 10 years.

Using the feature of the box is another story.
