Ian,
I've seen a conversion chart for each gear somewhere, but I recentally read
this quote from an early TR6 Roadtest in Sports Car Graphic, Feburary 1969.
"The wood-grained dash still contains the large and legible full
instrumentation, and the tach and speedo are still synchronized to read
together in top gear. For instance, 70 mph is 3500 rpm with both needles
pointing nearly straight up." So it sounds like your 'new' tach is right on to
me.

They did a real nice job and it is working much better than before. There is
no longer any bounce and it isn't hanging up and jumping all over the place.
My only question is that it use to register 3,000 RPMs in 4th gear when I was
doing 70 MPH. Now it is about 3,600 in 4th gear at that speed. Of course I
have always had my doubts about the accuracy of the speedo as well. I am
running 205/70/15 tires. The transmission and rear end are stock. No
overdrive. Is this normal?> > Ian> > Ian Breyer> 72 TR6 Jasmin Yellow> New
