While troubleshooting the sudden shutdown issues, I completely removed the sunpro tach II and wiring.
After I am more certain that the shutdown issue was the mechanical fuel pump, I will install the tach.
FYI, if the tach needs a tach adapter...the ignition box I have installed is an MSD 6(6200). MSD website indicates that an 8920 tach adapter may need to be used.
Heres some info about that tach installation...
