    Need help with MX3 with 2.5L DE wiring.

    off yesterday i started pulling out all the old alarm crap that was dying (the alarm itself was old and just wasnt installed properly).

    I started pulling and snipping and forgot this part was for the MSD setup that my brother made for the 6AL box and Disty wiring. Well i hastily started removing not realizing that this for the Disty and not part of the alarm. Can any of you wiring experts tell me which wires go back where so i can re solder them back in place? I think that the White wire(to the MSD box) wrapped around the red wire (in the picture), are wired together onto the red wire coming from the box.

    The Box he made:



    The wires i removed from the box wiring:





    2nd Need of help:

    The Alarm was also wired poorly to the door locks and after i removed the wiring for the alarm, i need to know where to splice the wires into.






    3rd thing:

    Battery relocation. When it was done dont ask me why, but the red cable is the neg, and the black is the power. The black cable is routed to the engine, the red is grounded to the seat bracket. Is this sufficient grounding?





    4th thing:

    Since doing the MSD Box and coil - Does the 3 wire plug need to be on the disty still or can it live off of the disty in the trash can? Also in the 2nd pic - the tiny little wire connecting to the disty, does it need to be plugged in or left off since im running the box?

    I say pull the MSD products and wire it in like stock. There's no real need for it. Also looks like he bypassed the internal coil on the distributor as well which is common since they fail...so just look up the HEI wiring for your specific year on here or mx-3.com, or mx6.com.

    Not a big electrical guy, so that's all I could really suggest :\
