Multispark CD Ignition action

I've recently installed a "mallory 6a" multispark cap. discharge ignition module. (VLT motor + ecu)

I've wired it up to be triggered as per the original ignition coil (i.e. via the power transistor)

I'm curious as to whether anyone knows if this is the correct way for it to be wired? and whether I need to change the dwell time/cycle settings? also the dwell time seems to be a 'percentage' rather than an actual 'time' ?

Just a followup on this -

triggering as per the stock coil seems to be working fine!

running well with no alteration to dwell/duty tables.

i know this is an old post, but for anyone else in future, yes that is correct.

the msd instructions state that the original ignition module should remain to trigger the new cdi module.

not direct from ecu.

mallory would be similar deal.
