I have a '74 914 and p.o "played" with the wiring to the tach. I can't seem to figure this out. Can anyone tell me how the tach is hooked up. I put a tach in my baywindow westy and all it needed (if I remember right) was power, splice into the dash lights, and run a wire to the negative side of the coil.
Thanks,
Jon |

looks like just 2 wires; black/purple is tach signal |

It is a nice addition albeit BIG...
I am wiring up an Electromotive XDI/Cranktrigger unit.
I ran an old 914 tach before triggered off C(-)
Electomotive manual describes this "some older tachometers trigger off the high voltage signal from the ignition coil (c-). These type of tachometeters require the use of a tach amplifier....designed to trigger off a 120 volt signal."
Trying to figure out what the (-)side of the coi is putting out?
Just a 12v pulse? Or 120v as the manual describes...the FI picks up a pulse here also, and i looked but saw no test values in the EFI sticky(nice to have this!!)
Anyway, I bought an amplifier already so I am just confirming theory before i start stripping wires...thanks |
