Tach plug missing
Hey folks,
Bought myself a MSD 6400 off the used market. This will be the 4th or 5th one in the last couple years being I use them in most of the boats I restore. The thing about this one is the tach output has been removed on the box and a rubber plug has been put in its place. The original owner said something about the class he raced in required it along with a plexiglass bottom plate. My question is how do I use a tach with this box? At the moment the Sunpro tach is run to the coil but I found in another boat that the tach will not work this way with a MSD box. What are my options?

Just asking but how do you know it was? Is it something race classes do?

most of our circle track boxes are wired that way....now it is standard to have the brown as a tach lead.
