Hello,
        I have this exact same set up on my roadster.  I will also be 
at shasta this year(if I EVER get rid of this hang over). Jim is 
right that the setup works great and you do hook it up to the MSD
like they are points.
        But feel free to come by and check out my car.  It'll be the 
white 69 2000 with flames.
