I'm still trying to get the Tacho (it's an electronic one) on my Mk 2 Sprite to work. It never has worked in the months that I have had the car. Looking under the dash there is a spade connector on t

Is the car still positive earth, or has it been converted to negative? I am positive that a positive earth tacho will only work on a negative earth car with some wiring changes, which include changi

Daryl's right. As I recall the change is simply to mount the loop the other way around. (I.E. Looking at the back of the tach, put a masking tape flag on the part of the wire that leaves the loop to

It's been awhile since I've done one but I think I remember going inside and having to snip a resistor lead and resolder on another terminal but can't give more details. I'm sure someone else can con

I think that depends on the tach. As I recall, some of them have the pickup internally, you have to open things up and do minor surgery. Others have the external loop that can just be turned around.

Thanks to all those who have given me advice on this matter. I'll try them out over the weekend and let you know how I go. The car is Positive Earth so I can rule out that one, sorry I didn't mention

Something is wrong in # 3 in the procedure. The non-distributor side is a regular hot wire when the ignition is on and on the key it will be the same. You`ll probably have to run the wire from the di

My reply to Greg raised the possibility of the car having been converted to negative earth, and the tacho still being wired for positive. Several people have now picked up the negative earth theme in

If it is mounted in the dash the mounting bracket should take care of the ground. The green wire should be hot if the ignition switch is on. If the plastic incased wire that you have is a loop then t

If we get too much into this, we'd better continue off-line. Chretin's was certainly open two years ago when I was last there. It's improbable that the owner had passed away because the food was as
