Hmmm! Mechanical tach? What an odd concept - I didn't know this could be done
without some form of electricity involved! Gosh, how in the heck would you
wire something like that?
Actually, that was one of the bigger problems involved in the TR6/Ford 302
conversion, trying to come up with a replacement tach for the mechanical
stock tach. I wound up having to replace all the instruments so I could have
matching gauges and still have a functioning, electrical tach.
