MSefi.com read only forum (Jan.15,2018)

MS-1 v2.2 fuel only on SBC.
Changed to Mallory Mini-mag, and need to extend the shielded tach wire. I don't have any more shielded wire, and only need to go 18" or so.
Question: can I use non-shielded wire for this? It is going to be under the dash, so I'm thinking it will be OK. I plan to solder the new wire to the core, insulating the shield from them.
Anybody know of any reason this would not work????

Thanks for any help

You're probably OK under the dash with it.

I would also twist them if it was up to me. Twisted pair will offer some (minimal) shielding.

I should have read that before posting..... I certainly could have been a bit more clear by pointing out that twisted pair offers a bit of noise cancellation. Ever notice your phone wires??
