no, keith is going to redyno my car but he wants a stronger tach signal so he is going to put a splicer in my tach wire to get a better reading. It went haywire at 5500 RPMS or so?

I'll see if i still have the instructions for the tach adapter it says what pins are for the tach in the wiring harness. I'll check when I get home tonight.

Not really... all the plugs fire at different times, but at the same rate... the rate is what determines RPM's. As long as its a coil on plug setup, it doesnt matter which coil you run off of...
