Default MSD 6AL problem

A buddy of mine has a Cobra replica we're finishing up, and it came equipped with a MSD 6AL pre-installed. It has 12V power on the main supply, but nothing on the red or orange lines. Is the red switched and the orange the distributor line? He didn't get any documentation on the MSD system, so if someone has it, maybe it could be scanned or something? As always, all help is appreciated!

MSD has a web site and all the wiring diagrams are available off this site. Just do a search for MSD.

I installed a 6a module in my car. Im thinking the only difference between a 6al is no revlimiter. Same wiring.

I have the way I wired it here, at the bottom of the page. It may help? http://www.weavermill.com/dist/installdist.htm
