6al should have a port on the side of the box, im pretty sure thats where the tach hook up goes.

It's called a tach adapter and I'm using a msd 6al and stock tach and I have the 8920 adapter..if you want to run the autometer tach... you won't need the adapter and all you have to do is plug the green wire from your autometer tach into the tac port on the 6al box
