Adding a tach?

[corelokt]

Anyone of all the CUCV gurus know of a way to add a magnetic flywheel or similar tooth count sensor?
Bought a tach, need a way to count teeth.

You can get a programmable tach (VDO makes a good one) and tap into the rpm sensor on ALT 1.

Works great and no need to mount anything under hood.

Extremely easy install.

Check ISSPRO

They make a kit that uses the harmonic balancer

What's ISSPRO my friend? Have you got a link .. I'm wanting to fit one just so I can find out if my 1009 really does shift up to 3rd ... Seriously I can't tell?!

ISSPRO is a brand. So is VDO
The tach has to be programmable to work with the stock system.
I chose VDO and used a laser rpm reader to set the baseline.
Search old threads and the info should come up.

Just do a search for ISSPRO and VDO and you will find them.

Is it not shifting hard enough to count the shifts?

Digital Dakota SGI-8E Tach interface, tap into either gen 1 or 2 (they both have the post), or tap into the brown tach signal wire on the diagnostic port. (gen 1) . You can then wire in any gasoline electric tach, follow the instructions, and bingo rpm display in a CUCV. Here is my setup.

I used the Dakota Digital box on my M715. Works great several years into it now.

connect to alt brown wire. you can use other sensors also

Do you not think it is going into third? To find out, just place the gear shift lever to 2nd when you are at about 40. You will definitely feel the downshift.

I've got a tach, it reads flywheel teeth. I'm looking for input on getting the signal magnet mounted, or? It reads down to 32 teeth.

Dakota Digital DSL-2. Summit racing has it for $123

I use a tiny tach

TinyTach !!!

He has a tach.

Try ISSPRO for the sensor.
I know they have one for the harmonic balancer.
Not sure about the flywheel sensor.

I have noticed that there is a bracket to mount a sensor of some type to read off the harmonic balancer. Does the harmonic balancer have a built in magnet or whatever to trip a pickup sensor?

 

[corelokt]

I've seen those, they require a magnet to be glued on.

I can hear 1-2nd but no matter how hard or soft I drive it just seems to scream all the way to 60?

Ok thanks.. There's no markings on the column shifter .. Is it park,rev,neutral, drive, 1,2,3??
