your dizzy should have 4 spark plug wires and a coil plug wire. How do you have 6 wires? If your internal coil than you should have 4 spark plug wires on your dizzy and 5 if your external. I had this issue when I swapped my f22b dizzy over from my f22a dizzy. The extra plug that part of the wire harness you need a sick a 30amp fuse in the harness plug that plugs into the coil pack.

Now is your MSD coil a external coil pack? If so you should have instructions on how to go from external to a internal coil and vice versa. I’m confused how you say you have 6 spark plug wires coming off your dizzy. You should have either 4 or 5 wires. A spark plug wire for each cyl and a spark plug wire from your coil to your dizzy. Or you should have ONLY 4 spark plug wires going to each spark plug then you would have a internal coil.

I think he means the wiring-harness connection is 2 plugs with 6 wires between them...

I would order the H22 TD-60 distributor from rywire dot com and go from there.

lol inspections/emissions, I cant remember the last time I passed those legitimately.

Would the distributor make an effect on that though? I mean I guess your only option is to just take it all apart and trace the wires, and just try it.
