I have an electrical problem flow chart that I have laminated. I should scan and post it.

Ron,
Here is the info on the 6ALN box.....

The MSD 6ALN not only uses the Nascar mandated Weathertight connector on it but is also full potted with a clear material to protect the unit from high vibrations and still allow for visual inspection by the sanctioning body. You can use the MSD Billet Distributor, PN 8582, but in order to plug it into the MSD 6ALN you will need the MSD Harness, PN 8866, that adapts the distributors connector over to the 6ALN connector. I would use the MSD Blaster HVC Coil, PN 8252. The peak current on that coil is 300mA versus the Blaster 3 which has 140mA. As for the digital 6, you would get the high speed retard feature on that unit over the 6AL along with a little more spark energy. 135 milliJoules on the Digital 6 versus 105-115 on the MSD 6AL.

Yep, I'm still here, thanks for the kind words. I'm on the 19 step program and getting bettter every day but I still have relapses. One day at a time my freind.

Boy what a mistake trading my cobra for a new damn roof.
