No you don't need any resistor.

Just use the 2 exsisting coil wires, one is on off
and will register a constant voltage on a crank
test with a voltmeter.

The other side will be a pulse signal on off while
cranking the motor over signal side.

The othere 2 wires from the MSD go back to the
coil be sure you note which ones are which on
the coil so you put them on right.

There is a + and a -, plus is the power side
and - is the signal

Get at least a 8 to 8.5mm wire you will be sending
a lot of high voltage through them. I run the MSD
8.5 with a 6a and ss coil. 5.2 same wire's you
just end up with 2 extra wire's

thanx for the quick response JJ

would 9 mm be overkill?

or does it just mean more insulator?

HEI is High Energy Ignition Chevy terms

9mm wires are just as good if not better tha an
