Recently installed a new MSD ready to run distributor to my boat, in place of stock distributor with thunderbolt 5 ignition.
MSD ready to run distributor has 3-wires, orange wire to coil negative, red wire to coil positive and black wire to ground.
Can anyone tell me how to connect my boats shift interrupter wires to my MSD ready to run distributor wires?

Call MSD in case. In meantime, i’d be willing to bet you hook tach wire to the interupter like those with DUI’s (hei’s) do.
