If your tachometer does not operate correctly or if you experience a no-run situation with your 

foreign vehicle you probably need an MSD Tach Adapter. The chart below lists common tachometers 

and if an Adapter is necessary.

INOPERATIVE TACHOMETERS

I f 

your tachometer fails to operate with the MSD installed you may need an MSD Tach Adapter. Before 

getting an Adapter, try connecting your tachometer trigger wire to the tach output terminal on the 

side of the MSD. This output produces a 12 volt, square wave (see page 2). If the tach still does not 

operate, you will need a Tach Adapter. There are two Tach Adapters:

PN 8920:

 If you are using the Magnetic Pickup connector (Green and Violet wires) to trigger the 

MSD, you will need the PN 8920.

PN 8910:

 If your tachometer was triggered from the coil negative terminal (voltage trigger) and you 

are using the White wire to trigger the MSD you will need the PN 8910.

ENGINE RUN-ON

If your engine continues to run even when the ignition is turned Off you are experiencing engine Run-

On. This usually only occurs on older vehicles with an external voltage regulator. Because the MSD 

receives power directly from the battery, it does not require much current to keep the unit energized. 

If you are experiencing run-on, it is due to a small amount of voltage going through the charging lamp 

indicator and feeding the small Red wire even if the key is turned off. 

Early Ford and GM:

 To solve the Run-On problem, a Diode is supplied with the MSD in the parts 

bag. By installing this Diode in-line of the wire that goes to the Charging indicator, the voltage is kept 

from entering the MSD. Figure 5 shows the proper installation for early Ford and GM vehicles.

Note

:  Diodes are used to allow voltage to flow only one way. Make sure the Diode is installed 

 

facing the proper direction (as shown in Figure 5).

Ford:

 Install the Diode inline to the wire going to the “1” terminal.
