I have a 66 GT350 that the previous owner upgraded the ignition to MSD (MSD 6A) MSD distributor and MSD box under the dash.

How is it possible to get my OEM Faria tach up and running?

The tach has been bench tested and restored so I know it works as it did in 66.

Thanks for your help!

I don't believe you can use the factory tach with a MSD ignition. (It can't see the ignition pulses correctly) Give MSD a call to be sure.
