ImPORTANT
This tachometer is factory calibrated to operate on 8 cylinder engines.
For 4 or 6 cylinder engines, it is necessary to make the proper
adjustments to adapt this tachometer to your cylinder range.
NOTe
This tachometer has an air core meter. The
tach pointer may not always rest at zero. This
is normal. When engine is started, pointer will
position on the correct RPM.
To change the calibration of the tachometer, remove the twist in light
socket assembly to access the cylinder select switches. The switches
are located to the left of the light hole. Use a small screwdriver or an
unwound paper clip to change the switch settings.
