I've got those same parts (except 6a) on my 97SS 383 - D1 Camaro. The MSD triggeres from 1 wire. I don't know if you have a point system or a ECM? One signal (12v) pulse should fire the MSD, and, that drives the coil. In the OBD2 PCM Camaro, there is a single coil module which is triggered by a PCM 5 volt pulse, and, that inturn applies 12v to the MSD 6. The 6al has a Multi spark discharge of 3 pulses @ rpm's inder 3K. Those MSD manuals are very good @ diagrams.
