Incidentally if you _do_ have a wire from the fusebox white to the coil
+ve it's probably bypassing the tach pick-up.

<p>the tach is the RVI unit with three connectors (M and F
bullets for 12v from fusebox through tach to coil) and a
tongue for switched 12v to the electronics. Ground is though
one of the mounting bolts.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is there a wiring trick to get this tach to work with
electronic ignition, or do I have to either get a later tach
or order one of the conversion boards?</p>
