There should be a tach output connection on the side of the box somewhere, you just plug your tach pickup into that. If it doesn't work you'll need a MSD tach adapter. I'm unsure of the part numbers but there are 2 different ones, it depends on what you used to wire in your ignition. If you used the white wire there is one and if you used a magnetic pickup ( green and violet wires ) there is another one....MSD-8920. I have a sunpro tach and I had to go out and buy an adapter to make it work...for about 50 bucks.
MSD had a module a few years back that would convert a tach signal. Not sure hear da rumor about using a wire off the obdii port, but never seen anyone with a mitsu do it and work. Have seen the MSD tach adapter work superbly.
MSD Ignition was created in 1970.
Been a few years since I've done it but I believe Auto-Meter has a link on their website for wiring diagrams, try that.
A MSD ignition is an American automotive manufacturing company (aftermarket) that deals with high-end ignition systems and electrical components of an automobile.
It is simple....as long as you have the right one.....on my 350 the ignition coil was located inside the distributer cap, easy enough, you just take off the 2 bolts and unplug
You can hook up an MSD Digital 6AL/6A on an 84 Chevy truck by first replacing the original cap, and rotor if they are worn out.
To install an MSD ignition system in a Mazda RX-7, start by disconnecting the battery and removing the old ignition components. Mount the MSD ignition box in a secure location, ensuring it's well-ventilated. Connect the wiring according to the MSD installation diagram, linking the ignition coil, power source, and trigger wires. Finally, double-check all connections, reassemble any removed parts, and reconnect the battery before testing the system.
To connect an MSD 6-series ignition system to a 1995 Suzuki Vitara JLX 1600 engine, start by disconnecting the battery for safety. Connect the MSD's red wire to the positive terminal of the battery and the black wire to the ground. Wire the MSD's trigger input to the existing ignition coil's negative terminal, and then connect the MSD output to the ignition coil. Finally, ensure that all connections are secure and double-check the wiring against the MSD installation manual for compatibility.
You can replace the coil with an MSD coil when using an MSD ignition, but you don't have to.Cure for what? Depends on the problems you were having before. MSD is generally more complicated than stock ignition. I mean it ads more steps between bat/alt and spark, so there is more to fail if anything fails; though they are generally reliable. But it depends on the initial problems. If the problem was low voltage to the ignition coil, slapping an MSD ignition box in between won't work either because it uses the same wire input (which would still be too low if that was never fixed).If the only problem was the coil or distributor, then yea swapping it for MSD coil and distributor will fix it, but you might as well just replace them with stock parts and forget about the MSD ignition box, unless you want the added performance. In that instance it wouldn't be a cure per say. I mean it will fix the problem, but not because it's MSD, but just because you replaced the faulty parts.http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/htm/spark.htmfor the MSD 6 series:http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/6%20series/6series.pdf
MSD ignition systems typically draw around 2 to 5 amps during operation, depending on the specific model and the conditions under which they are used. This current draw can vary based on factors like the engine's RPM and the load placed on the ignition system. It's important to check the specifications for your particular MSD model for precise information.

Yes, an interlock device will still work. An MSD box is an after market brain that fires the spark plugs in performance vehicles and has nothing to do with engaging the starter motor. The interlock device is installed between the ignition switch (key) and the starter motor relay or solenoid and is independent of the secondary ignition system. (Where the MSD box is located)
