To run a tach on a distributorless ignition, you'll need to add a tach adapter.. Here's the autometer version for reference.. Others available.. http://www.egauges.com/vdo_acce.asp?...r&Manf=All

Good question!

Since it's reading/using the the 12V current source to the coil probably wouldn't make a difference..
