Anyone know if a regular aftermarket tach will work on a 83-84 RX-7 motor?
I was thinking it might work in 6 cyl mode ( 2 rotors, firing 3 times)? Thx Mark |

I had an autometer tach on my RX-7...
Buddy installed it, so I don't know if it was configured for a 4 or 6....but I'm sure the autometer tech site would some useful info.... S. |

A rotary tach will work just fine. Any tach for a 4 cylinder will work for a rotary,, so I am sure a rotary tach should work fine with a regular 4 banger.
