  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Jamie, Larry below is right - with HEI your tach will work. :TU:

    BUT IF YOU HAVE AN MSD BOX,...

    Your tach won't work with the factory wiring, because the MSD box fires the coil multiple times and the tach would be reading insanely high - if it didn't burn up from the higher voltage the MSD sends to the coil. Factory tachs count the number of times the 12volt current through the coil is interrupted, and the MSD sends several hundred volts into the coil (using it like a transformer) which would melt your tach.

    On one end of your MSD box is a tach connector, a single blade connector. That's where you hook up the tach signal feed wire. It may not work, something to do with "square wave signals" or some electrical whatnot, and if that's the case, you need a MSD tach adapter. Your MSD box's instructions cover this, there are two types of adapters, and both are usually available on ebay used for about $25, or Summit wants $50 or so for a new one.

    Jamie,
    Daves HEI works the same way as a GM HEI, so yes, your tach should work just fine.
