I don't see a tach drive gear listed on this unit!

I'm running the MSD Billet http://www.jegs.com/i/MSD/121/8572/10002/-1 with a blaster two coil and the 6Al box on one of my cars.

Unless you want to loose the mechanical tach or maybe the company you pasted the link for sells one with a tach, you might want to look at something else.

Willcox.

If you want/need to upgrade an HEI, there's this:

http://www.performancedistributors.c...stributors.htm

Or MSD. There's also a thread here every once in a while about a group purchase.

I'm running a MSD Pro-Billet tach drive with a Summit branded Mallory box with a rev limiter.

Default Tach Drive

Sorry,
Forgot to mention that I have converted to an Electronic Tach so I don't need a Tach Drive.
Thanks for the input
