Then how is my tach still going to work afterwards? Does it just read it off the 8874 harness i ran to the coil?

I just want to make sure my tach will still work right, last time i put a box in a car, the tach didnt work right after that, i need to know if i need to run my tach wire to the box for my tach to work right afterwards or if i dont need to mess with it at all and it will still read it right.

tach is going to work the same way it does stock.. you ony run 6 wires from an MSD box.

2 to the coil, 2 to the harness that was connected to the coil, and 2 to the battery for power (or a switched power source)
