    They aren't real tough to wire, Charlie put up a nice schematic and there's another good one comes with the box. Just take your time, do one wire at a time--and if you're not sure just click up CHR, probably a bunch of us here have wired them up... Now if you add the two step stutter box, retard box, and an rpm switch to kick the nitrous and water/methanol it gets a bit complicated but still the same thing, 1 wire at a time and ask when you're not sure!!!!

    Besides, we can't have a Marine going slow, some swabbie might beat ya with his ricer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the 6al or 6a box can be wired to the street fire Dist its just a bit better then a stock Gm HEI dist you need to wire the trigger wires out of the base of the street fire Hei module will not be used only the pickup and then wire the internal coil in the cap or buy the external coil that page 4 will not help you much but there is a diagram for the HEI only the trigger wires and coil wires go to coil in the cap . every thing like the Big Red wire needs to go to a good 12 volt source .BIG Black good ground .small red to keyed switch or on and off switch. small wite wire is never used only to work on a old points dist or can be used to trigger the msd to test the box
