Carby: I've been dreading cutting the choke horn off my 650 big time. Just didn't want to do it and have to clean up all the mess, etc. So, I was on Holley's...

A little more progress this evening. Ignition box is mounted and wired up, alternator is close to being wired up, voltage regulator was relocated so...

Back to wiring. I backtracked a little because I felt like I should wire the MS to be turned on/off with a switch rather than with the key. The reason...

The MSD arrived today. It is used, but looks to be in good condition. It came in an MSD 6462 (6BTM) box so I figure someone replaced this one with a 6BTM...
