Andy,

I have a 76 (black button tach) running the tach from the tach output of my box. Z may have the answer for you. I recall that he had a similar problem and I offered the adapter to him. He figured out how to make it work without. Don't know if he had a silver button tach. In my mind, if you can stick your dwell/tach on it and get a good reading, your tach should run.
