first  and formost ... turn off the caps lock ....


OK the wire with the ring terminal that is labled coil neg is proably a feed for the tach ... it now needs to go to the tach port on the msd box.


the # 10 wire to the starter relay is ok but it effectivly bypasses the alt guage in the dash ...

the other wire on the alt goes to the voltage regualtor wich by the way is part # P-3690732  .... the other side of the volt regualtor goes to a source that is hot when the key is on (not the CAPS lock key) ...

Caps lock is reserved for screaming at somebody as in  Madd or  cat fight

I agree...........I can't see shit any more without mine.
Wireing is a nightmare on these old cars. You have know idea what some other idiot before you did. I assume you have all the diagrams for hooking it up from MSD. If not you can probably find them on the web. Also MSD tech support might be able to help. I don't know much about MSD as I use Pertronics. Someone on here will know for sure. You also could try www.forabodiesonly.com

Lineloc,,,don't feel singled out ,,,everyone that uses Caps Lock gets chastised,,,it is the international symbol for shouting,,internet etiquette strongly advises against it unless you are making an anger interlaced point !
It is like poor punctuation, it makes it hard to read & comprehend . There are lots of visually challenged & old folks on here too !!!
Seems to me 68 Val Sedan did an excellent job figuring out what you're wires are ---remember it's all about communication here--there's no hands on ---he added humor about cap locks too ! Grin

  yes and no prob. thank you. all is good. by the way, i own a 67 val sedan. any pics of yours so i can see  what a valiant`s supposed to look like? mine is a hacked up racecar and whoever wired this thing probably did it in the dark. it` a mess but i`ll get it straightened out someday.  thanks again,,gene

actually my 68 valiant has recently moved to a new garage and is no longer mine , I am currently waiting for my 67 dart to arrive from Arizona.   I like the name so I will be keeping it even though I do not own the car.
