Re: A-Tach The Problem

Re: A-Tach The Problem

Thanks for the reply and the picture. Re-calibrating my circuit board won't necessarily make my tach work though will it? There might be some other issues that are the problem? I was just thinking...

Re: A-Tach The Problem

Re: 6" of fender gap ?

Yeah it's frustrating, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I read a couple different ways on here onto which way is the top of the spring. Could you help clarify that for me?

Re: Wiring on A Stock Tach to an Aftermarket Distrib

Okay I will try that. One thing--Does there need to be a tach filter between the tach wire and the distributor for the tach to read the rpms? Thank you very much for your help.

How do you know if 12 volts are going to the tach? I was reading about a tach filter. Would this have anything to do with it? Thanks
