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.
What else can I help you with?
How do you install sunpro tach on 95 eclipse gs?
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.

Does the msd ignition replace the coil and is it the end all cure all of an ignition circuit problems?
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
How many amps does msd ignition draw?
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.

Will a breath alcohol ignition interlock device work with msd igntion system?
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)
