FL just hooked up an MSD 6al box, Now the tach dosent work???? help!

i just installed an MSD 6al box and after re wireing the leading coil. i have no tach..

like when i start the car it jumps like it normally does. but then returns to 0 like its

getting no signal.... i know the MSD 6al box has a tach output plug in slot on the

side, i think its for aftermarket tachs, but im trying to figure out if this can be / needs

to be hooked to the old tach wire and which wire is it? i wanted to try and figure this

out before i tear the dash apart and trying to trace the tach wire....

this is a 1980 first gen rx7... im trying to go out to the track tonight plzzz help???

It should work. If you have an '80, the tach wire should have come off the old leading coil (-). After '80, they took the signal off of trailing.

Are you getting spark on leading. I assume that you are, but I thought that we should check spark before checking the wiring.
