70 series tacho conversion

Post by dawwen »

I see on Marks Adapters you can buy an adapter that stops me from having to get my current 6cylinder 70series cruiser tacho recalibrated to 8 cylinders, for the new chev i've put in. My question is though where in NZ can someone modify the one i've got???? Surely someone can.
I'm in Wellington if there happens to be someone closer to home.
Cheers

You might have to join ih8mud to view the link, I never bothered doing mine but one of the Chch guys did his a couple of years ago

I noticed a lot of people are looking for the potentiometer value for making the 6cyl FJ60-62 tach work on a V8. Here is a picture of the install. The pot value is 200ohm. You only use 2 out of 3 lugs. The outer as you maybe can't see, is not used. Attach an aftermarket tach and calibrate yours as needed.
