1. For best results, it is recommended to mount the Capacitor as close as possible to the MSD Ignition
Control. Find a secure mounting point and mark the location of the mounting holes. Use a 3/16”
bit to drill the holes and use the supplied screws to mount the Capacitor.
2. Mark the point where the MSD’s heavy Red and Black wires will be connected to the Capacitor
terminals (note that there is a positive (+) and a negative (-) terminal. Strip about 1¼” of insulation
from the wire at this point (Ringlug terminals can also be used).
3. Form a loop at the stripped wiring point and attach the Red to the positive terminal and the Black
wire to the negative terminal with the supplied hardware as shown in Figure below.
IDENTIFYING AND PREVENTING RADIO NOISE
Radio noise can be frustrating but there are steps you can take to isolate the problem. If the noise
disappears when the MSD is bypassed, then the ignition has added a factor that directly, or indirectly
causes the interference.
Due to the increased output of the MSD, the breakdown of items like the spark plug wires, spark
plugs or related components may be brought into the light so the ignition components should be
inspected. Also check the following:
