Hotboost,
2lt_Scort would be correct in his comment on the lumenition coil connection, with that system you would use the standard type coil and connections, as your taco signal is taken from the negative side of your coil it should just work for you. I on the other hand can not do this because my MSD setup switch's the coil independent of the 12v ignition circuit, hence I needed to place the taco adaptor in the original loom, the adaptor mimics the original coil negative signal and behaves like it is hooked into a standard Capri ignition/coil setup. So my standard taco sees a current pulse and not a voltage pulse. The taco adaptor is triggered by the voltage pulse output from my MSD 6AL2 Programable ignition box.
