MSD - Multiple Spark Dipshit

Ok...since the last post...I went to the MSD site to do some poking around...found a support post that told how to trouble shoot getting no spark...one of the tests involved jumping the green and violet wire that go to the magentic pickup...hmmmm...green and violet...green and violet...The control knob has green and violet wires...which yours truely (using logic) spliced to the green and violet from the box...Oddly the green and violet from the control knob do not got to the green and violet on the box...they go to the gray and black. (this makes sense right?)...anyway...I went out just now and simply cut the wires to the knob...boom I have fire...It sill won't stay running but that might be because I jiggered the wiring in my testsing...I'll update when I find out.
