- 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
