I am installing a Megasquirt 2 (PCB 3) in my '79 mustang. Previously I installed a Ford mass air EEC from a '90. I have a Crane Hi-6 in the car that I would like to continue to use.
In order to have the factory tach work I had to install a tach adapter (Crane #6000-8910). Here is a link to the instructions;
http://www.cranecams.com/uploads/instru ... -8910_.pdf
In the instructions is says that "The tach adapter simulates
the action of the coil and generates a high voltage pulse
whenever the OE module triggers."
I had no problems with it working with the Ford A9l computer. Will this high voltage pulse be a problem for the MS2? Thanks.

MS can be configured to take its tach feed straight from the coil which is a similar high voltage pulse.

Re: Hooking up Megasquirt 2 to a Crane Hi-6
Thanks. Is there a section in the manual that covers hooking the MS2 up to a coil? Thanks again.
