Tachometer

[Berkley1]

So I am looking to upgrade my gauge set the one I am looking at has a tach that comes with a sending unit on my VP 5.7 the tach comes off the ignition coil grey wire can I still connect this tach to my current set up?

Ayuh,..... Hard to tell, you haven't said what this tach is,......

• Engine hours: 0.0-99999.9H
• Backlight :7 Color backlight
• Indicating Range: 0~8000 RPM
• Signal : Pulse

This is really the only info I have on the tach

Would need the manufacture of the gauge

That said, a auto/marine Tach doesn't use a sender, they all use the signal coming from the coil (gray wire)

so basically a pulse tach will not work correct?

No I didn't say that, A Tach is a pulse counter. It counts the pulses from the coil
