Re: Tachometer for my model A
Love having a tach .
I’m used to working on performance V8’s from the 60’s ,70’s so after seeing the crank and rods in the A I want to keep those revs down! |

Re: Tachometer for my model A
I have a tach in my 30 coupe without overdrive but with a burtz.very interesting to see the rpm of shift points and at cruising speed. Because of the stroke the piston speed of a model A is very impressive, comparable to sbc.

Re: Tachometer for my model A
That's me too. I don't even intend to try. what did Henry say about systems that are old are not necessarily redundant?
Remind me please.

Re: Tachometer for my model A
Pete, I believe that small tach you featured in post #13 is similar to the 0-3000RPM tach I bought last year on eBay. The maker is Buzztach, not Westach and the one I have is Buzztach Model P3A 6 Volt Model A tachometer designed to be used with Pertronix’s ignition system. I had a late forty's vintage Sun Tach that I replaced with this Buzztach.........What a great little tach!!!!!

Re: Tachometer for my model A
Yes, TomEndy, I installed a TinyTach. I used one of the bolts in the dashboard to secure the LCD screen. I threaded the wire thru some loom and exited the Terminal Box to the ignition coil cable. I ground the device well (check with multimeter first) to the coil bracket-firewall screw.
The whole process required 25 mins of my time. It worked quite well and continues to function without issues. Diastole in the Smoky Mountains
