[Roadsters] Datsun-roadsters Digest, Vol 8, Issue 175

[Steve Ehlers]

Hi Gerry ,

  You say erratic tach and mention Aftermarket... I am to assume that 
the Factory cable driven is not

used ... ??.. So if your using an electric non stock tach, I would 
source the brand and wiring diagram and

recommended hook up. It sounds like pick up signal is an issue and not 
every voltage source that could

have been used may work. Some tachs require a tach adapter ,especially 
depending on the ignition system used.

Others can not be driven directly with out it.  Then there is Voltage 
triggered or current triggered ?

Do you have a stock Distributor points system or Electronic type? If so 
what brand and I may be able to help you .

> So my mechanic says the voltage regulator is causing some of my gauges to malfunction, specifically the temp and fuel gauge.  Says a new one is $180 or an after market one is $100,  Seems excessive to me.  Are there any other options for replacing or repairing the voltage regulator I have?  Thanks.
