Hey gang.
Getting ready to install a MSD 6A system on my Daytona. With eventually have one of my Prestolite dual-points converted to electronic and want the performance of MSD. I will hide the box and such so there's minimal visual impact. I was curous on how people who have this system wire compliment there factory tach or is it better to get the new-style circuit board for the rear of the OEM tach? I know there's a MSD tach adaptor.. Anyone with luck hooking that up?

I will hide the MSD and adaptor boxes as well as minimizing the visual impact of the MSD system in the engine compartment.

Also,
I have an extra factory tach for the Daytona that needs to be refaced. So, they made MSD friendly board I can change out into the tach and thus not have to wire in an adaptor? If so, where does one get these boards? Charger Specialties?


Cheers,

I definitely had to use the tach adaptor with my factory tach so if someone makes an MSD board for the tach then I can't see any choice but one or the other.  I think about the only plug and play I've heard of for MSD are Autometer tachs.

I have ordered the 6425 box along with the 8222 black coil and 8920 tach adaptor. I spoke to the tech support about various scenarios of distributors. Being that the points are no more than a trigger and really don't put much strain on the contacts, I may use my Prestolite dual-point first using the white wire from the MSD box... This will give me the OEM look I'm wanting......
