WIRING AN MSD IGNITION CONTROL
An MSD Ignition Control is not required but can be installed. Figure 4 shows the wiring when using
an MSD CD Ignition Control such as an SCI, 6-Series or even and MSD 7-Series Ignition Control.
CRIMPING WITH THE MINI-STRIPPER-CRIMPER
1. Slide the wire into the cutting die as shown in Figure 5.
2. After stripping the sleeve, position the wire in the terminal so
the insulation protrudes about 1/8" beyond the insulation crimp
tabs and the conductor extends about 1/8" past the conductor
crimp tabs (Figure 6). Slide the other part of the Mini-Stripper-
Crimper over the wire terminal and lightly press them together
(Figure 7).
3. Position the wire and terminal into the "W" groove of the Mini-
Stripper Crimper and follow Steps 4 - 6 to crimp the terminal
to the sleeve.
Note: It is normal for the conductor to retract into the insulation
slightly as the sleeve crimp is made.
4. Put the assembly into a vise making sure the alignment tabs
are on the outside edge of the vise jaws (Figure 8).
5. Slowly close the vise making sure the tool and terminal stay
properly positioned and aligned (Figure 9). Stop applying
pressure when the terminal ends have wrapped securely
around the sleeve and grip the wire.
Note: DO NOT OVER CRIMP! It is possible to tear the sleeve
of the wire by excessive pressure on the vise. This will
cause a weaker crimp.
6. After the sleeve is crimped, push the conductor between the
crimp tabs and use a set of needlenose pliers to crimp them
together. DO NOT OVER CRIMP.
7. Slide the boot over the terminal and install the wire.
