Yes its gonna work , but you can run with the stock tach with a litlle mod . solder 4 wire on the ignitor harness and you join them on the tach wire with some diode(i think) somewhere in the dash .. that how mine is hooked.. dont ask wich parts... i dont know the part the guy used ! but i know its working fine.
