Default MSD help?

Hello forum members
I just recently installed a MSD digital 6 plus on my 94'. The problem I am having is during acceleration my tach goes to zero. In the MSD instruction book it says if this happens on a GM car to bypass the inline filter. sounds easy and all but I don't know where that line is. If i could get some feedback it would be a great help. Thanx in advance :confused:

You can search the archives for the exact proceedure, but here it is in a nutshell.
On my '92 theres 2 white wires coming off the coil.
Trace them forward in the harness until you find them going into a small cube, this is the tach filter.
I cut the wires about 1 inch back from the filter and spliced them together back towards the coil, no more problem.
This fix came from the MSD rep. at a national meet when he could have sold me the "tach adapter", nice guy.
Good luck, Dave :flag

BTW, thats the proceedure used with a 6AL on a'92, a call to MSD will cost nothing to verify, Dave ;)

I just did this same procedure on my 92 when I installed an MSD 6A. Cut the two white wires that go into the tack filter and spliced them together. No more problems after that. Cheers!!!
