83 CIS to Full MSD w/Single DCOE swap. Wiring help needed

[GLiwant a vr6]

Ok ive been using BigCaddys wiring diagram.

well ive become a little confused with running into the idle stabilizer which is tied into the ICM.

where would be the best place to splice in? or do i get rid of it?

wiring is not my strong point, so just some general wiring help with this would be much appreciated.

no need to cut anything. hook the small red from msd to your original coil positive (terminal 15 from ignition) and the white from msd to your original coil negative (terminal 1 from icu). that's all you need.

the wiring diagram says to not have the red wires for either msd to pick up from coil?

do i leave the idle stabilizer in place?

[VenaGTi]

correct. you are not connecting to the coil. you are connecting to the OLD COIL WIRES. good luck. yes, leave the stabilizer.

really should install that 4th bolt in your alternator bracket..

the 3000 rpm vibration it makes, will be gone after you make up a bracket for that bolt hole..

it already has 4 points of mounting. thats just a different mounting location for a different motor
