[Tigers] Speedo and Tach

IMHO the solution to the tach problems is to have Tom Hall (or Theo) 
replace the insides with their electronic circuit.  The price is about 
the same as a rebuild by Nisonger (or maybe less, I haven't checked in a 
while).  I sent Tom a Series IV Alpine tach that reads to 7000 and he 
used it to make a tach for my Tiger.  It does say (in small letters) 4 
cyl positive earth but otherwise matches the stock gauges  (at least for 
MkI's and MkIA's - use a Series V Alpine if you want to match the MkII 
gauges).  It works great with my Pertronix setup and will continue to 
work that way for a long time, probably longer than I will.  Next on my 
list is the speedo which reads about 10 mph low.  The article Ron Fraser 
refers to has lots of good info in it, so I may try it on the spare that 
I have.  Otherwise, I think it has to go to someone who knows what they 
are doing.
