Actually, it is.  When Triumph says 2:1, they mean the ratio between the
tach cable and the crankshaft.  When Mallory says 1:1, they mean the ratio
between the tach cable and the distributor shaft.  Guess what the ratio
between the distributor shaft and the crankshaft is ...

Was just a thought.  Wonder how hard it would be to put a TR2-4 mechanism
behind a TR6 face plate ?

BTW, your replies seem to be converted to HTML, and not have the trailers
trimmed, which is probably why they don't seem to be coming through the
list.
