Hello I am trying to properly install an MSD 6AL ignition on a 92 Range Rover County 3.9L v8. The problem is that the previous owner already installed in incorrectly. As I found from reading this: http://www.hevanet.com/jbeale/OLDSITE/Content/RangeRover/RangeRoverIgnitionMSD.pdf which seems to contradict with this: (post#4) http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/8-range-rover-classic/34707-msd-6a-questions-replace-use-ignition-control-module.html The previous owner removed the ignition module off the distributor and wired the MSD violet and green in its place, the white/black wire that goes to pin 39 on the ECU was taped off, and there is a white wire with black dotted tracer that goes into the MAF harness the PO installed onto coil (+). as a result the car is running lean and will die after idling for a few seconds, it barely moves under its own power. using a pico scope i was able to watch the injector open time in milliseconds drop to about half what it should be, i tested the injectors and harness ensuring adequate power and ground, and when i watched the current ramping of the injectors it was very weak which coincides with the information in the first link that the msd is taking too much current from the inj signal, so i purchased the msd tach adapter and a three wire rover ignition module and pigtail that has has leads on the outer two pins for the three wire module. I have been unable to find a good installation writeup and any help would be appreciated. 
thanks
