Default MSD unit issue

I have a 94 LT1 which I added a MSD 6al unit. My tach works normal at cruise but when I rev the motor or accelerate quickly the tach bounces back and forth to 0 rpm's MSD tech support send me a tach adapter to correct the problem, but this unit is for an aftermarket tach, not the factory unit I am using. Need some help from any MSD users

Is the stock tach getting it's signal from the tach output of the MSD unit or is from it's original ignition wiring? I left my tach wiring stock when I installed my MSD6AL digital unit and it works just fine. I do have a shiftlight that gets it's rpm signal from the MSD unit and that works also.

The stock tach is still hooked up in the factory original way

If it makes any difference the car is a 94 LT1 modified 383 with a custom computer tune
