Need to know if a 97 Cobra needs the tach adapters for the MSD DIS-4 igniton box to work. Half the people say I need them and half the people I talk to say the 97 is the last year you dont need to use them. Someone who has the box let me know ASAP.

i have the dis-4 without the tach adapters. the car cuts out at 6k rpms. i called msd and they said i had to put in the tach adapters to raise the rpm limiter. didn't make too much sence to me, but I bought the tach adapters and hopefully they will be going on in a week. i'll let you know what happens then.

On the '98 cars you had to get tach adapters. The 96& 97 cars you didn't need them if you bought a MSD for those cars before sometime in 1999. I was then told by my tuner that MSD (probably to make more $$) made the DIS 4 require tach adapters for all 3 years..

I had to put them on my car when I bought the msd-4. They said it supose to help the coil-pack. That all I know.
