Tom Hall and Theo developed a modification to work with the MSD and
other electronic ignitions.
It worked perfectly with my MSD and was accurate.
Before I installed the rebuilt Tach, I used the Autometer tach which
when supported by the original bezel doesn't look to bad, is accurate
and easy to install.

Hey gang:
I have an MSD distributor, but without the capacitor discharge box (I
may add one in the future) . The tach in my tiger is reasonably accurate
up to about 2500 rpm but after that it's erratic and goes completely
nuts above 3000.
I know the stock tach is only compatible with points or with Pertronix
unit, but would prefer to stick with this distributor. Read the article
on the STOA site about adding a capacitor and other mods, but am
wondering if anybody has another resource or recommendations for getting
the tach modified or rebuilt to work with electronic ignition.
Mo Ma says they can rebuild it to work with electronic ign. for about
$200, which sounds pretty much like replacing the entire guts. Nisonger
says it can't be done and recommends the Smiths unit for a 427 Cobra.
Thoughts?
