Hi Paul, Here I am again sorting things out , So it picks up from the coil so if it isn't working it the clock its self I suppose? Regards Rodney | |||

Ahem. Is not the tachometer of a '74 a mechanical instrument, driven by a cable like old speedometers ? A good instrument specialist will make up a new cable inner if it has broken. RT. | |||

I think Rodney asked the question , not Ahem. A good instrument specialist will make up a new cable inner if it has broken If he can find it! RT : No, 1974 not 1964 Rodney, Not sure off the top of my head where it gets it's signal etc. from though. Sorry. | |||

Rodney, I think you were clear - I was talking about the Tachometer. RT - That's better , you've got the right year now I see - and the electronic Tachometer. well done. But can you find the wiring diagram - that might be more useful to Rodney! | |||

Hello Paul and Richard, Sorry!! I never thought the rev counter worked with a cable, With me not having dismantled anything yet I have no idea. Thanks Rodney | |||

Rodney, Sorry for any confusion caused. I don't know why we have gone from calling the Rev Counter a Tachometer. They are of course the same thing. Sometimes we forget to keep replies to a non-technical level where possible. I think you will find the speedometer works with a mechanical cable, the Rev Counter works with wires. |
