Ingition Help - Guru Needed

I installed an MSD6AL, blaster coil and timing computer for use with an SC distributor. Currently there are no vacuum lines to the dizzy. I'm also wondering if I need to lock the advance in the distributor or whta I need to do at this point.

TIA, John

John:

Not to worry. Simply cap off the cannister and use the MSD timing box to set the retard stages as needed.

I would connect the MSD 6AL directly to the trigger & coil and test for spark by cranking.
