Change it out for a Crane box that will fix it

Sorry I had to there is a large discussion about the best one to use I am sure you will get a good answer soon.
BTW I have a stock Thunderbolt so I'm out of this one.

Read the distructions for the MSD, they explain it in them. I did it on my 251 (86) but I just changed to an Autometer tach so I did not use the adapter.
