the sginal out of the dsit may depend on the rotation of the dist. (CW or CCW). i know on my 930 with CCW rotation the sginal i s upside down so i had to flip the wires to get the correct signal into the MSD.
one other thing about the MSD, it has an LED on it that shows the signal from the dist.
i would think a tester to check tha output o fthe dist would be easier and cheaper to make.

That's correct about the three pin CDI, i.e. a simple test with a test light can determine
whether the points signal is O.K. From the standpoint of testing the six pin CDI
signal, a simple ohms test (~600 ohms) and an A.C. voltage measurement
(~.50 - 1.0 A.C.) are all that's necessary. Let's not over-complicate the issue!
