Tachometer Progress, The Needle Moves

Dave Koller is another EVer I have been in contact through email about using the original tachometer on the electric conversion job.
I attached the tach generator to a positive feed at the ALDL connector, ground to pedal bracket and yellow lead to the tachometer lead going into the cluster.I attached the tach generator to a positive feed at the ALDL connector, ground to pedal bracket and yellow lead to the tachometer lead going into the cluster.

He assembled an adjustable pulse generator board for me to try out and mailed it. Tonight I tried it out with much success!

Next will be to build another board that accepts an analog trigger etc.
