I am running a Rover V8 in my 1986 Opel Manta, I have just removed the standard dizzy and an MSD6A and am replacing the complete ignition system, the spec is MSD billet Distributor (PN8548) hooked up to a "GM Heavy duty ignition" essentially an MSD6T, this is in turn hooked up via the 4 pin plug to the MSD soft touch rev control (8728)
My question is where do I plug the rev counter green wire ? The old 6A had a spade connector on the end of the unit but the 6T does not.
Any help gratefully received !!

A bit of lengthy googling may have sorted it, will try tomorrow but it seems the brown or white wire on the GM ignitions is the Tach output, You check for a 1 to 5 volt signal when the car is running.
I have a spare white wire so i will test this, funny as the MSD6A i had the white wire was left unconnected and the instructions said to not use it.
We will see.
