A really great member of the teener community called last night
he has done more good things for more people, but last night had a question It was around trying to get his tach to work on his -6 conversion I remember many threads about not requiring a MSD tach adapter, but couldn't find them in my searches. Can anyone point me along or offer their knowledge to help out ? specifics: 2.7/6 CDI died a few months ago. MSD was installed, and car runs well. Tach is now not working however. He is running an MSD optical pick up (white wire) and using the wiring instructions provided. He is not running the tach adapter and it was my belief that it may not be required? thanks in advance all! brant |

As Jim said, we used the tach output right off the MSD 6AL box. The only thing I notice that is different is that the tach needle bounces. It was pretty steady in the stock configuration.
Oh, and it was Jim who got smart. I forgot the doggone tach output was even there... |
