66 charger factory tach and msd ignition? Help

[400sforever]

I have a 66 charger with a msd ignition. How do I get the factory tach to work with this ignition? I've heard it's possible with an adapter of some Kind?

A buddy had to use this MSD tach adapter to the MSD ignition control box to make the tachometer function properly.

Before spending money on something that may or may not work have you thought about pulling the gauges and sending them to thegagedoc for the RTE tach upgrade?
Paid an done and should work with anything.
May be more trouble than you want to go to , of course.

I have a 67 that has the supply built in for the tach but that is the only difference. I had tried the convert to no points (I forget the name) and had been warned about it. I never could get it to work with the tach. The company was cordial enough to accept a return and I went with the Mopar orange ECU and conversion kit. Works perfectly, no adaptation needed.
Never looked back. Just my 2 cents.

The old OE tach boards will not work with MSD ignition. The new solid state boards from Real Time Engineering will. The boards (64-66) work with the external sending unit found on our 66's. The other style (67-74) will work with the integral board inside the tach on our 67's. Only boards I use for my restoration work.

Thanks,

Mark

sorry guys. I though he used the 8920 MSD tach adapter, so I called him and said he used the 8910 adaptor with his Chrysler factory tach
