I have had a silver dot tach in my car for years but when I went to MSD ignition the tach no longer worked, which was not too surprising, but what was surprising to me me that a newer black plastic dot tach worked fine.
How can I get a silver dot tach to work without changing the "guts". I really don't want to add a Tach -Adapt" since I know the newer tach works fine - I just want all my gauges to be the same - Silver Dot. What is the difference inside to the circuitry? Thanks in advance! EDIT: MSD 6AL, Mallory distributor and MSD Blaster coil. |

I put a later (black dot) tach guts into my early model face and put the silver dot needle back on. I did this to use the later guts with damping to remove the tach overshoot designed into the 914 tach.
