I'm doing the MSD/tach adapter installation right now also. Is the tach wire the wire that's on the negative terminal of the coil?

Factory tach wire is always black with a purple tracer.

I believe so, but not certain. All I know is it goes to the coil but mine now goes to my MSD so I can't look to be sure.

In the original configuration I mean. Yes Bob, the black/purple tach wire originally went to the negative side of the coil... BTW, I just received the diode in the mail today, from MSD. I'm going to wire this in and hopefully finally get the tach to work correctly... Here's a diagram of how I'm going to wire everything together...  |

Please disregard the previous post. I had the wrong tach adapter. The correct one is 8920. Here's the correct wiring....
