Call MSD, give then your situation and they can tell you how to regain your
tach.  You may need one of the two or three "tach adapters" they have.  
The MSD Tech line phone # is 915-855-7123.

Nology Engineering in California has looked into this and created their "Hot
Wires".  They apparently think that if the multiple spark occurs over 20
degrees of rotation, at high revs that is much too inaccurate for optimum
combustion.  Thier Hot Wires, shorten the spark, I believe, with a capacitor,
down to a few nanoseconds.  I'm not sure of the details.  It's solid core,
low reisitance wire, with a grounding strap.  There was an article on them
this summer in Turbo magazine, I think.  They found positive results.

I put a Jacobs ignition box and coil in a 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco, and
gained 2 mpg on the highway and better throttle response and torque.  I would
agree however that it is little more than a CD system.  No majic, but it can
be effective, like a MSD box can.
