Thanks, there's a guy in VA at autoinstruments.com that says he's done Roadster 
tachs before, so I might try him.  

I have to go to Glenn's on Sunday, we left his Roadster in a state of disrepair 
last weekend.  He is redoing his dash and stuff for the trip, hence the tach 
question.  My wife would beat me if I spent two days away for roadster repair.  
I take it you got your head (cylinder) back?  As soon as we get back from RA, 
I'm taking the engine out to get ready for Turkey Rod Run!
