QCADTA Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 your distributors electronic (points less) but you run a coil with it? just connect it to the -ve side of coil. whats the resistor for, to cheaply convert tach signal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton f Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 na that doesnt work the signal cant pick the it up off the coil pack for the electronic ignition on it. i was just wondering weather anyone else has had that problem because i know some models need a resistor for the tacho to pick up the signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
