Is it the right tach? Doesn't sound like it.

Don't quote me but I thought all older forces at least in the 80's were 20 poles. I wish mine was a 12 pole cause those tachs are everywhere.

You have a 12 pole alternator on your engine? I could have sworn that Chrysler used 20 pole alternators.

I learn something every day.
