What is needed to install a MSD ignition box on my 49 JD "A" besides a 12 volt system? (alternator, battery and distributor).

An alternator is nice, but is not neccessary. I use a 6A on my 1939 G with no alternator. The voltage drain of the MSD as opposed to the original points is very little. I have a 950 c.c.a. battery and have only charged it once in since the beginning of pulling season.

I would use one of the msd coils that they offer, everything else is supplied with the kit. I mounted the box itself inside my battery box, right behind your left leg, that way is doesn't look too streetrodish at the pulls or shows, plus it can help keep the crybaby's away from your ride. On my A (48), I also hooked up a tach , but just ordered one like Burn's tach, you can see his post on down in this forum. It has alot of wires but they basically just go to the coil. The directions were good and it took me about 1.5 hrs to complete, ps I used large head pop rivets to hold it on my battery box. hope this helps.
