Another MSD Ignition Question

I recently purchased a '77 F-100 302/C6. I want to replace the whole ignition system with an MSD 6 w\ Blaster 2 coil and MSD billet dist..
My question lies in the wiring. The wires coming out of the ignition module go to the dist. and firewall. What do I do w\the wires going to the firewall? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Those wires just run to the ignition switch. So when you turn your key to the on position it gives the module power...I would also just splice them together.

Another MSD Ignition Question

You can use the MSD box by itself as a stand alone unit. I wrapped up and cable tied the old connectors to the DII module and dizzy (in case I ever go back - or sell). There's one wire you'll use to wire to the module that now goes to the coil on your setup. MSD has a good set of instructions that come with the 6A. I thought it would be tough to install, but it was rather easy...just got hung up on the ballast wire (which you won't need).
