SACRILEGE! A Ford engine in a Vega? I think you have a nonfunctional tach because you're being punished by the automotive gods! But seriously, if the car runs, the tach output of the MSD(usually a male spade on the same end of the unit as the main power wires) should work. I have seen people try to hook the OEM tach to the MSD's white(- coil input) or the black(- coil output), neither of which will work.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
