Old Tacho not working after Coil On Plug Conversion
Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2017 6:01 am
Hi all,
I've "upgraded" my ignition system to 4 individual cop's and ditched the Ford Edis Module after it was giving me some headaches.. 2 cylinders were dying and the cause was a dying igniter inside the module, i replaced several modules and was getting the same problem everytime... Dwell time was 2.3 ms
So I used 4 D585 GM coils , work great with no issues at all so far
I previously made the tacho work with the Ford Edis coil tower by using a tach adapter (picture attached), and now that I have the "Tacho" output from the MS3X, I tried to make it work (without the tach adapter, lost it) but it does not;
The tacho is from a 86 Model Year Nissan Silvia S12 triggered by the negative side from the coil (Distributor Equipped Engine)
I tried to trigger it by the Pin 36 from the MS3 Bosch BIP373 JS10 but it didn't work either
Attached are pictures of the Tacho
Any help very much appreciated
