Installed new coil, now the tach acts funny

It’s the orange ignition box, I don’t recall the manufacturer. However, I used my old tach with no problems (other than the occasional bouncy needle, which I could never figure out), and then installed the new tach with zero problems. Swapped coils and now this.

I should add that I have a non-Rallye cluster with no factory tach. I’m using an external aftermarket tach.


If it’s the orange box than yes, the tach wire gets hooked to the coil. An MSD or Mallory box has an output on the box for the tach.
