[DeTomaso] Hooking an MSD 6AL Rev Limiter to disengage the A/C Compressor

[Rob Dumoulin]

I rev my current motor to 5,500.  My new 4 bolt will rev higher but I do
not have the specs yet.  I currently do not have a rev limiter in use on
the 6AL and am hoping I can set the limiter to only cause the A/C
compressor to disengage at 5K while allowing me to keep revving the
ignition. That is the hope anyways.  I live in Florida where the A/C is
used year round.  I am bound to forget to turn if off every time I want to
have fun.
