They said the HEI tach lead would not be sufficient, so I ended up converting my HEI to an MSD Digital Heat setup. This gave me the 20* output and worked great. It also preserves the original factory output. The MSD ignition boxes also provide this feature, but I preferred the less invasive and less visually obvious route.

I ran my tach off the module that comes from the kit, took the black cap off and wrapped the wire around the neg. side.
On a side note if anyone who has installed this can help I am having a issue with it. When I drive it the computer keeps the vehicle going, I look at the monitor and even with my foot out of the gas the system shows 2-6% throttle. Is the a computer issue or my throttle cable, I have check the throttle body and it appears to be shut. Also at a stop if I get back on the gas not just right it dies. Any help from your experience would be great thanks guys

Just from what I've read on the ff forum but 1 guy had a similar issue as you. His accel fuel was at 0, he pressed the down button and it started running better he settled at -3 as he had noticed that he was rich at idle. I will pm you the thread. Hope this helps.

On the acceleration issue, try backing off the accel fuel setting

thanks for the link, it sounds the same as my problem, I busted a belt on my water pump so once I replace that I will try - numbers on the accel fuel and see what it does, thanks again

yeah I did that once or maybe twice.... but it was still running open when I took my foot out of it and I re-calb. it a few times, not sure I am setting the idle screw right, it says to get it in the target but when the car is running 750-800 where I want it and set it in the setup it wants me to adjust it more since the lines are not on target...does not make sense to me.

I don't think it's as sensitive (or requires as much fuel) if you have a less radical cam; however, the cam in my car is a bottom-of-the-page cam, so some accommodations have to be made.
