Hi fellow FOTers', Just been given by my friend and mentor (Chris Swingler) his 10,000 RPM Smiths tach he ran in his Spitfire back in the seventies. I am privileged! The tach has no markings other th

I bought a new Smiths impulse tach for the Lotus 7 I used to have. I can tell you from experiance that playing around with the polaraty on the coil to see what works best will fry your tach. However

I'd use steering diodes externally to make it impossible to connect it incorrectly. Basically you make a full-wave rectifier and connect it to the voltage inputs for the device, then cover those inpu

The only issue with that method may be the .7 volt drop between each diode. What will that do to the accuracy of the tach reading? Ed Barnard Bill Babcock <BillB@bnj.com>@autox.team.net on 08/08/200

Probably nothing since it's the power supply leads that we're talking about, not the signal lead. I don't know about ancient tech like an electronic smith tach, but all electronics for cars have to a

I'm not certain which sensing method we're discussing (there were two of them, one current-sensing, the other voltage-sensing), but the voltage-sensing setup is probably not going to like having the
