you might want to get on the internet and look up Chinese wholesalers for the digital tachometer/hour meter. Cost is around $14. delivered by mail from yes CHINA, I have one in my coupe and it works very well. my buddy also has one in his model A. no electrical hook up required. just run the one lead to a spark plug and wind it three or four times around the ceramic and you are good to go. When motor is running it reads the RPM (selectable setting for 4-6-8 cyls.) when motor not running it reads hours and can be reset., 6 or 12 volt not necessary.
