I know "New York" Doug absolutely despises MSD and from his experiences, has good cause for feeling that way. BUT, lots of us run MSD ignition without any problems. Mine has been flawless for over 5 years now.
You have a wiring issue.

I do not hate MSD. I am past that. I am very happy for anyone who has gotten it to work successfully in their Pantera. Kudos to you.
They were recently purchsed by Accell.
Thanks for posting the tach diagram. As a follow up to my earlier post, removal of the mystery part SO Bill references repaired my tach's functionality.
I do have a manual, but I'd thought I'd ask here first.
IF, I need to get the tach out for repair/inspection, do I need to remove the dash board, or can I just reach up under there and unscrew something that allows it to come out?

Dashboard removal not required. Takes a bit of contortioning but you can get it out from under the dash.
The dual pod you can get the thumb screws off. The single pod is another story. On the single pod they must have had a special tool to get the last nut on the stud.
On the single pod you have to take the speedometer out so that you can reach the inner thumb screw on the tach.
Then you need a special tool to get the inner thumb screw back on the speedometer.
It's a universal size to grip the nut, then you squeeze a trigger on the tool to rotate the nut.
You CAN NOT get your hand in there.
IF you have the dual pod, there is a steel cage that clamps the speedo in.
DO NOT take that out from behind the dash. Leave it in there.
The single pod will also likely flatten the defroster duct going to the corner. Be careful you do not tear it or knock it off of the nipple.

Or, once you get them out, experiment with tape around the outside of the tach and speedo cans and "press" fit them into the pods. Mine have been installed that way for 20+ years. They don't rattle or move and I can get them in or out in minutes.
