Just follow the instructions. It's pretty simple. With your tach you won't need a tach adapter.
I bought mine used off Craigslist. A good place to buy one new is Summit Racing (online). Oh, and if you are handy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you can make your own RPM pills. |

I saw an MSD7 on an engine sold at Barrett-Jackson last month.
Does anyone know the difference between the two? |

Is there a place to download a copy of the instructions on line? I've had mine for a little too long and have lost the little instruction booklet. I think that I played with it/the distributor on the coffee table for a week or more when I first got it. Almost time to put it in the new car soon and all I know for sure is the distributor hook up.
Any help? Thanks, TC |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Good choice Trekkor. I think you will like it mucho much! On a couple of really well tunned cars (914-6's) I had 6AL's on, you could actually hear a little crack (spark?) and VROOM! Rarely did you ever crank over on the engine. Always just fired off with a key bump. That was a sweet feeling and sound. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Got the MSD 6 AL today.
I'd love to see where you all have installed yours. A call for pics, please. The rear trunk sounds very simple and uncluttered.. KT |

The 6 series is for street and road race applications. The 7 series is used for drag racing. The 7 series has a lot of features relating to drag racing that are not incorporated into the 6 series. Great product! |

Here's mine, Never did get the tac to work though. But mine's a 72. Maybe that's the difference.

Ive been running them ever since they became available 20 years ago, I used a tach adapter with my t4 none needed with the 3.0. Hard to believe that other products are much better. The MSD works great.
