[Tigers] tachometer

Is there a problem with the Tiger Tach?
Sometimes they can be fixed.

Alpine Tach is for a 4 cyl engine - it needs to be adjusted to read 8 cyl
otherwise the same.

It might work if there is enough adjustment of the potentiometer which can
be reached though the illumination bulb socket hole and if you have small
fingers.   You will need another tach measuring instrument to adjust the
tach to the correct reading and to see if it reads correctly though the RPM
range.

The heater core is the weak link if you run a higher psi radiator cap it
could spring a leak.

If you think you have a cooling problem - 1st start by cleaning the cooling
system
I suggest using Evapo-Rust cooling system cleaner - follow the directions on
the bottle.
I also suggest you flush and back flush the heater core until it runs clear
- sediment collects there.

Will the alpine tach work on a tiger?  Same white wire loops etc?
  Would I get better cooling with a higher than 13 pound radiator cap?
Thanks.         rtscolgan at yahoo.com
