 |
|
| I am installing an electric fuel pump into my 62 bug. I do not have a tachometer but want to be able to get the pump to shut off automatically should I roll or get in an accident. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks! |

Get one of these. The tach signal comes from the negative side of the coil.
