MSD to Factory Tach Question

OK, I'm dropping in a little wicked 355 into the 91. My question is that I am going to retain all the factory gauges (adding temp and oil on pillar as well) but was wondering this....

How can I hook up the stock tach to a MSD 6AL with a Blaster SS coil and Pro-Billet dist??? I will not be using a factory type coil so the adapter they sell for that is gone, do you know if they sell a type of tach adapter for this?

Re: MSD to Factory Tach Question

you can hook the stock tach up tp the msd box....but its gonna read way off....you need an aftermarket tach or i think msd sells some thing that you hookup inline b4 the box that corrects the reading...call msd and ask

You may need a by-pass filter or adapter (http://static.summitracing.com/globa...6%20series.pdf , Page 7).
