Yes there is! I just went thru this with my dist. There is a little adapter that comes with the dist that goes on the end of the cable. I may have an extra if I can find it, mine came two.

I figured there was something, I would be interested in purchasing your extra one. If not could you post a picture so I know what I am looking for. Thanks

Yeah a little brass fitting is all you need. Should have sent you one with the distributor. I lost my adapter and just called MSD and they sent me one free of charge! Nice guys huh?
