    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Was wondering how you drove that tach? Was it off one of the alternators?

    Where is my injection pump leaking from?

    Check the throttle shaft seals. They leak after time. They are small orings. I think there is only one, on driver's side. Check the TM.

    Power steering pump bracket

    I would put some anti-seize on those bolts when you reassemble. You can use RTV on the wet holes. That acts as a lube for the threads too. Clean up everything first. Good luck. Nice job.

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    What would be the impedance of the HUMVEE tach? Could I just measure the resistance between the signal + and - input points on the tach and call it close enough?

    Yeah! When I took electronics in high school, we were learning how tubes worked! Transistors were a new thing!

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    I already have the 700R4. The vehicle is a civy suburban. I'm wanting to keep the vacuum pump for the HVAC controls as they are vacuum operated. Just trying to get a tach to work in the thing. I also have one of those ess sending units for the HJMMVEE. If you ever get yours hooked up and...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    After I posted to you the other day, I thought about the B and C points and remembered about the Base, Collector, and Emitter of the transistors and it made sense. If I wanted to hook up an oscilloscope to this circuit and see the waveforms, would I put the negative probe to ground and the...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    The diagram I have doesn't show point B or C. Not sure what they refer to. My ess has 2 pins for a connector. In the diagram I have it only shows one lead from the ess going into the circuit. What happened to the other? Do the pins have polarity? I have the Diesel Page book that has the...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    Keith_J thank you for the explanation of how that circuit works. Not sure what a comparator is though. I'll keep investigating and see if I can drive a tach with that circuit and my vacuum pump/ess unit. Could I ask you more about that circuit from Lee Wagner?

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    I have one of those vacuum pump/ess units in my 84 civy suburban with a 6.5 replant. It is a stock calif. vehicle. I've wanted to hook the ess to a tach but having trouble figuring out the wiring. I have seen the info from Lee Wagner. If I were you, I would go with the alternator tach setup...
