First off, go ahead and laugh at me, then please help. I had an MSD "Ready to Run" distributer in my Chevelle but it shorted out after 5 years or so. I replaced the MSD with an HEI while the MSD was being repaired, now I'm ready to put the MSD back in. The paper says "orange" wire to neg on coil, "red" to pos on coil, "black to engine ground, "gray" to tach, these are all small wires, maybe 20-22 gauge but where does the big pink wire go? The pink wire comes from the fuse box and is a thick wire, it has a squarish plug and I dont remember where it goes on the coil or distributer. On the HEI I had it plugged into the cap in the "BAT" slot. Where do I put it on the MSD?
The MSD doesnt use a relay or a box.
BTW Dementia is no joke.

OK, that has to be where it goes, thats the only power going to the system. I just dont remember changing that plug on the end of the wire when I changed the distributer last time.
