I would suggest that you contact Julius @ Restorations by Julius 818.882.2825 He sells an electronic tach built by RedLine that goes rite into the 70 RR Ralley dash. And then you can connect directly to the MSD. Also its face has the correct color and fonts.. His website... www.rbyj.com has more details.. Just my $0.02..

Not sure why yours would be different? I run the tack off the plug on the MSD box instead of the coil. 67 Charger 383 auto 75 Dodge CNT 800 CAT Diesel 2012 Ram Crew cab 5.7 4x4

The adaptor is suspose to convert the square wave signal to ocilating wave signal. Or vica versa, can't remember which lol. But it works on Chrysler tachs. When it takes more than a sweet mullet to prove you rule at the trailer park..

In my 70RR, I tried running my MSD 6 with the Mopar electronic distributor and the OE tic/tach worked but was way off by about 40%. I swapped out the OE tach for one from Julius worked fine and is dead nuts on for calibration... Just my $0.02..
