tach not working
I finished the hei mod about a month ago, and I cant seen to get my tahc working, I tried the 1000 ohm fuse, and even directly hooking it up.
There is no such thing as a 1000 ohm fuse. Fuses restrict current (amps) and should have no resistance, unless blown when they should indicate infinity.
The tach signal is from the YELLOW / BLUE wire from the dizzy.

If you have an external coil -
The 1000 ohm resistor goes between the negative terminal of the external coil to the yellow/blue wire on the 3-wire connector(disty) and the 3 wire connector should not be plugged into the disty.
Also if you havent gutted the disty - it is recommended to cut the orange wire and the wire next to it in the 5-wire connector.

or use a ze disty. Its all external pretty much all wahts in it aside from the Rotor Is the camshaft sesnor. I am running the HEI with external coil and my tach stopped working recently. I'm pretty sure the resistor has blown or lose connection. Its all fine. I can still drive the car hard I knopw which speed each gear ends at pretty much. I might look at it later on today and see what teh prob isariesdude wrote:If you have an external coil -
