Hey gang,
This looks like the prefect spot for some new technology! I put a 12V regulator
on the feed line to the tach in my B when I switched to - gnd and a Delco one
wire alternator. Worked GREAT, no failures since. This stock device as described
sounds like a real Michael Mouse device. Has anyone tried a linear IC type
regulator
for this application? If not I'll be happy to be first this winter as we
reassemble
the Spitfire-6 for number one (and only) son. I'll even tell you all how to do
it
for yourself.
Cheers,
Ken Boetzer
