The Black/Purple wire usually (4 cyl stock) goes to the "-" side of the coil, right? So I have my MSD unit hooked up and the car (6 cyl, MSD) idles and runs fine but the tachometer isn't working.. actually the blk/pur wire isn't hooked up right now either. So, I have a tach adapter and I'm assuming that the "-" wire from it will go to the neg side of the coil with the blk/pur wire from the harness. Does that sound logical? I've researched this quite a bit today so any insite would be appreciated.

oops misread the post
yes tach out from MSD goes to black/purple, this signal may have to be conditions by the tach adapter, depending on the year of the vehicle... |
