Tachometer hook-up Zetec Bugeye Project
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:40 pm
Trouble shooting my tach-hook up. I got my tach changed to electric from North Hollywood Speedo. I sent them a diagram of how the tach was run off the 2 coil wires and the schematic.
I hooked up with the double diode and single zener set-up.
Fired-up the engine. With the engine running at about 850 rpm the tach reads 2000.
How do I troubleshoot from here? Do I first remake the circuit and try again?
Does it make a difference that I am running the Acell coil rather than the stock ford one?
Do I suspect the tach from Hollywood Speedo has not been calibrated correctly, Perhaps it is configured as a regular Smith's Tach,
Any Thoughts?
