Running into an issue installing my 6al. I ran all of the wires together, in one large harness, to the box. Box is mounted in the cab under the driver's seat. Then, I noticed in the instructions that the trigger wires are supposed to be run separately from any other wires. Called tech support and they said that the trigger wires should be at least 6 inches away from any other wire. Problem is there's no physically possible way to do that. My observations: if that's the case, then why do all the wires enter the MSD box at the same point? That doesn't make much sense. They're already touching each other AT THE BOX. Also, I'm using the white and red wires and a Pertronix module. Observation on that: the white wire is a trigger wire, meant to send a signal to the box. The red wire is not. If I understand correctly, it is simply a power wire. Obviously MSD intended them to be run together because they share a piece of shielding. So, why is it ok to run that power wire next to a trigger wire, but none others? I'm sure most of you on the forum have had cd boxes before. Is it really that big of a deal? Is it likely to cause a miss? Opinions please!
