Re: MSD

I love MSD's product range, but I do agree their tech service could use some work.

Not sure what your setup is exactly but here is how I wired my 6A and billet distributor on my 84 TA. I am using the 8910 vs the 8920. I also found a 10K resistor inline with the tach wire had the tach working about 90%.

like above.. look for what the closest wire set up to what your running.
it's simple..just need to work it out..

check grnd
check power
most of the time its the small things that get ya..
