The dyno operator has worked with these units before and felt the limiter was set, just not showing up on the tach. I'm not really comfortable with this and plan to reset the limiter to a much lower rpm to see if it's really working.
Are you running the gray wire from the MSD to your hood tach? When I tried that on my 67 it wouldn't work at all. I have to run it from the coil and would have to install a different tach that works by the msd in order to set my limiter.
