Hey guys I have a MSD 6a box hooked up so my factory tach and ford motorsports svo monster tach are both dead now. I understand I don't need a msd tach adaptor for this tach as it is made by autometer but I can't figure out how to hook it up. Do I just run a wire from the output on the side of the box and what the heck type of connector does it use????


Also how the heck do I turn off this darkfog option on stangnet? my eyes are buggin out!!!!

I'm wondering the same thing for my mallory 6al box, the instructions don't seem to clarify if a tach adapter is needed or not.

well i don't need a harness as I have the tfi direct wiring harness to hook up to the coil. The msd box has a tach output on the side of the box. Per their instructions it lists which tachs need a msd adaptor and which ones don't. I have a ford motorsport one which does not require the adaptor.

I just don't know what a ferrel connector is.......
