So I’m wired up
Blue ground
Red ignition hot
Black to white MSD
I’ve got the green LED at Z1 on the flywheel 1 TDC
I re-installed plug leads with #1 aligned with where the rotor points with the green LED on.
I can see 12VDC on the 123 dashboard while cranking.
Just spent 2 hours double checking verifying etc.
no change.
I know lots of people are running this with MSD, Ben being one of them.
What have I missed?

Attached is a pic of my wiring. Yes I know my coil wire is a tad short.
