You need a bipost-to-PC adapter cord.

Thanks!
You also need to set the adjustable flash sync delay to zero. This is the switch with M, M, FX, and OFF settings. If you set it at "OFF" that will probably be X-sync. If you set it at "M" that fires the sync about 20 msec before the shutter, which is great for M-type flashbulbs, but will fire an electronic flash before the shutter opens. Test it to be sure.
If shooting in studio, turn off all light, I use remotes, open shutter, pop the strobe or flashbulb
If sitter is object, both may be surprised
Took me years to get GOOD cords
Just got them
I first did this under Red Safelight with X-Ray film, as my entire studio could be under safelight
