| Does the 12v square wave output signal from the MSD 6AL tach output work with the VDO 7k tach gauge without any converters? |

| I would think so,but I'm not certain:they only count pulses.Weather its on/off like a square wave, or plus slope/minus slope like a sine wave shouldn't matter, but that ultimately is maufacturers choice. |

No... Tach hooks to "tach output" terminal on AL6 box and/or through adapter...
See page 9...

| I stand corrected...It's been a while since i've had to deal with it, I burnt out the first one,but have had no probs since..This MSD unit works well with the Blaster 2 coil, in conjunction with a MalloryUnilite fitted with an Ignitor mod.... |
