Like sauga4 the coil is in the distributor, I believe you need to convert your car to an external coil, msd sells conversion kits.

I don't see why you got this msd switch dealio. What it does is it activates a switch based on a certain rpm, hence why you need to hook it to your coil. If you were going to now activate your vtec solenoid this would not be the best idea. The reason i say this is because all your doing is allowing more air in and the computer has no way to compensate for if activated before normal vtec engagement. In a boosted application as you have this would be an even worse idea! Throw that thing out or sell it!
