How to hook up MSD GMR 8918?
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 5:33 pm
I am running a fuel only microsquirt and had a heck of a time getting a clean tach signal for it. I have purchased an MSD GMR pickup to get the tach signal off the coil. It outputs a 12v square wave. Here is the MSD page- http://www.msdignition.com/2006/06-22.htm I'm not sure exactly how to hook this up to the microsquirt. I am not getting a tach reading on the microsquirt. I hooked the tach output to pin 30 optoin+ and tried the ground of the MSD unit to pin 31 optoin- and also tried straight to ground. I have verified that the MSD is outputting a tach signal. I think this is just a simple mistake of what goes where on my end. Any advice on how to get the microsquirt reading this?
