Evangelos,
Yes and Yes. If you have a worskhop manual, this should be clearly shown. If
you don't, refer to my previous messages.
Once again, the tach cable connects to a gearbox which in turn is attached to
the rear of the generator. The generator has a different end plate and
armature. The end-plate is threaded and the armature is longer than the
non-tach drive generator armatures to accept the tach drive gearbox.
If you prefer to run an alternator, you will need to wire a later tach into
your electrical system. I have no experience with that mod, but I would expect
that others on the spridget list could offer assistance.
