I want to hook up a sun super tach to my 350 which has an accel hei
distributor. Do I need a special connector at the distributor? And exactly which port on the distributor does it go to(a description would be greatly appreciated) Thanks Ron

You can use a regular female spade connector but it wont retain itself as well as one of these http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1783

And in case you need the bat side http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...dept%5Fid=1783

I have used one for years and never had a problem, spade connector that is.
