440 and msd eletronic ignition

[fasteddie]

HELP!!!! I'm doing a ground up restoration on a 71 Cuda. It has a 440 6 barrel, and
switching the ignition to an MSD. I'm looking for information on how to
modify the wiring harness? Or to replace it with one suited for the modification.
I also understand that some modification has to be made for the Rally dash
tachometer to function. I'm getting close to installing the engine, and want to
and want to make sure I have the right wiring harness to get it done. Thanks!

I am not too familiar with the MSD, but with my electronic ignition I hid the box under the battery tray. I made my own harness and put the wires inside some black heat shrink tubing and ran it along the headlight harness, behind the brake booster, to the distributor, etc.
