I had an old rally pack from an early mustang hanging around and wanted to try it on my 55, however, every time I tried to hook it up it would kill the car. I have petronics, is this a problem and does it have to run behind points???

Bill:

The old Rally Pack tachs are different from the run of the mill aftermarket ones.  They have to be wired in series with the coil, not parallel.  I doubt if they will work with a Pertronix because the current in the coil circuit is so low with the electronic ignition.  Probably better to sell the Rally Pack to a Mustang guy and buy several modern tachs with the money.
