[DeTomaso] Tach adapter with ready-to-run MSD distributor?

[SOBill at aol.com]

The "tach output" wire from the ready-to-run will not operate the Pantera  
tach. The Pantera tach wire should be connected to the coil negative 
terminal  ...... where the ready-to-run Orange wire goes. The ready-to-run "tach 
output"  wire can be left unconnected to anything.
 
The main  thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Do the best you can with what  your have where you are.
Have fun today!

Hi  guys,

I am trying to help a friend who just fitted a new distributor  and lost 
tach function as an incidental result.

I know that with a  conventional MSD ignition system (with external box), 
you must fit a tach  adapter to get the tach to  work:

However,  he installed a 'ready to run'  distributor:

Do  these, also, require the tach  adapter?
