MMMM - don't think it will work as thye MQ senses of a pulse from a magnet inside the timing cover where the sender unit bolts in. The early MQ SD33 don't have the hole for it - been there done that. If you want a tacho you need an sd33 tacho - timing cover and sender unit. I think the magnet is in the cam shaft. I wanted to change my old 81 SD33 to a turbo with tacho and 5 speed - in the end I sold it and bought a Y pack with it all already. - hope it helps
