I had an MSD 6a on my 73. I spend some time with MSD tech to try to
get my tach to work correctly. In the end, It was easier to  replace
my tach with a VDO model tach that would work when plugged into the
tach output of the MSD.

don't attempt to pull plug wires from a running engine with one of the
babies installed. The spark kicks like a mule! (don't ask)
