Hey all

any idea to get the tach working, I plugged the green wire into the 6AL unit but the tach still stay at the "shifting" rpm. I have a auto gague 5in tach with part number 233905. Should i plug it in the negative coil?

The tach needs to be plugged into the 6AL tach output. However, some tachs require a MSD adapter. Consult the MSD website for details.

oops, wrong forum, apologies...

when i plug it in the tach output, it shows the shift light when it is on. when the engine is running, it just shows where i set the shift point, like its not receiving signal. i am sure i have a good connection to the msd 6al tach output too..

MSD 6AL works fine with my 69 stock Chevy tach. I did not need the MSD tach adapt.
