Changing from a 911 641 301 00 (early 70's ) tach to a 911 641 301 86 (911 SC MY 86),the early tach has a different rear plug but both share a 3 wire connection.
Bowlsby (thanks Jeff ) pic shows wire 11 as being red/white as 12V supply ,wire 13 as being earth (ground) brown x 2, wire 12 black /purple I presume is signal from CDI box via relay board ?. Late tach is #2 to 4 across the top and #5 to 8 across the bottom ,#2,6 and 7 are the only used, help please as me and VDO instruments have never been happy together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) .TIA. |

Quick test is to shove a 4 cyl tach in there, switch the Tack-Adapt, and see if it works.
I'm dealing with a engine harness on the wife's car where a PO managed to melt the black/purple wire. Don't forget to test all the basics. Bob Ashlock is/was pretty quick to answer questions, send him an email. |
