Hi guys,
Does anybody know why a tacho in a HX GTS would read way to low. I have tried two different tacho's both original and have tried both the 6 and the 8 cylinder settings to no avail.
Is it possible that I am overlooking something. I am now running VL electronic but had the problem before changing to the new dizzy and coil.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Anthony.

As Byron said check with an aftermarket test type tacho & compare readings.
I,ve seen this problem before when guys fit blue ignition to red motors, however I,ve done this conversion dozens of times & had no trouble & you

Dr Terry. Found a wierd situation the other day on this exact subject. My HZ 1-tonner (ambulance pack) is a factory 308/TH400. It's currently got an aftermarket 12V coil with ballast resistor. Whoever installed it left the yellow wire on the coil, and ran

The resistor wire is usually a fairly thick pink one. Unlike Dr. Terry I prefer to not use a relay because in my opinion it is another thing to go wrong and strand you. In situations like where you are fitting spotlights and have to run through the dipswi
