1994 Ford Probe GT MSD External Coil HEI Module Wiring Diagram

User-drawn MSD external-coil HEI module wiring diagram for a 1994 PGT MTX: tach output black/pink, 1000 ohm 1-watt resistor, RED/BLACK to battery, 6-pin and 3-pin distributor harness colors.

This is a hand-annotated wiring diagram titled "MSD External Coil HEI Module Diagram," drawn by community member "bencollinz" and dated 1/28/05, labeled for a 1994 PGT MTX (Probe GT, manual transmission). It shows how to wire an MSD Multiple Spark Discharge ignition box together with a GM-style HEI module and an external coil onto the factory distributor harnesses. The 3-pin distributor harness supplies a yellow/black wire (not used), a yellow/blue wire, and a black/pink wire; the 6-pin distributor harness provides the disty ignition input on a blue/orange wire routed to the HEI module. The MSD box's RED, WHITE, BLACK, and ORANGE leads are spliced through inline connectors: the WHITE wire passes through a 1,000-ohm 1-watt resistor path to the HEI module, and the BLACK and ORANGE leads connect to the external coil's + and − terminals. The MSD's heavy RED and BLACK power leads go directly to the battery positive and negative terminals, the magnetic pickup connector is not used, and a tach output is available on the MSD box. The HEI module terminals are labeled W, G, B, C, and GND, and a sketch of a "modified disty cap" (distributor cap) is included. The author notes the diagram is for visual purposes only.

Frequently asked questions

What vehicle is this MSD external coil HEI wiring diagram for?
The diagram is labeled "1994 PGT MTX" (Probe GT, manual transmission), drawn by bencollinz and dated 1/28/05.
Which distributor harness wire is not used in this MSD/HEI conversion?
The yellow/black wire from the 3-pin disty harness is marked "not used," and the MSD's magnetic connector is also not used.
What resistor is required in this wiring setup?
A 1,000 Ω (ohm) 1-watt resistor is shown inline on the white wire path to the HEI module.
Where do the MSD box's heavy red and black wires connect?
The RED wire goes to the battery positive (+) terminal and the BLACK wire goes to the battery negative (−) terminal.
Which wire carries the distributor ignition input to the HEI module?
The blue/orange wire from the 6-pin disty harness is labeled as the disty ignition input.
