Where can I find the frequency specifications for my tachometer?
I am trying to calibrate my tachometer with some test equipment I have available but I need to know at what frequency each RPM should read. Where can I find these specifications?

This should be correct.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you. Where did you find this though? How sure are you that it's correct?

Re: Where can I find the frequency specifications for my tachometer?
Here is the App note for the driver
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm1819.pdf
Basically it is frequency * 60/number of cylinders * 2 = RPM
I use 12V as my input signal level onto the tach pin.
This is only for distributor powered ignitions.
