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%.

check grnd
