Hello all;
I have a question I'm hoping won't get me too much hate. Please keep in mind this is the only non-Mopar part I'm using, and this is going into a '72 4-door, so I'm not corrupting something collectible like an R/T Charger or anything.
I've had this idea for years, and while I was inside the car doing the auto-to-manual pedal swap, I also took out the dashpad and the door panels to paint. While I had it all apart, I figured now was a good time to try this idea: A repro GM hood tach on my dashpad. Right now it's just kind of sitting there, not attached at all, but my question comes to the wiring. I got this tach from Parts Place, and the description says it will work with old GM points ignition, or an HEI type system. The Coronet has an orange box system. Will I need a tach adapter to use this with the orange box, or could the wiring remain the same as stock?
(I know there have been many posts here about adding a tach, and I've studied up on the diagrams attached. Since this is a GM thing, I didn't know if that info would still apply.)
Thank you in advance for any help, and hopefully not too much hate! ;)
