Ignition question

Hey guys--

I have a '75 F-350. I'm putting a '78 300 in it (and not using the Ford box) . With a DS2 dizzy and TFI coil wired directly to an MSD 6a box, do I need anything else...resistor, module, etc.?

Not sure if the 6a box would replace a module or not. The affordable homebrew hybrid ignition I've seen a lot of info on is a DSII distributor with the 4-pin GM HEI ignition module with the TFI coil - no ballast resistor required.

Don't think you need anything else. Check the MSD site for the wiring diagram with a DS2.
