Sun Super Tach - how to hook up?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by BobAsh, Mar 8, 2010.

  1. I have a Sun Super Tach in my '66 Opel Admiral and while it's hooked up somehow, it still refuses to work. It's said to be tested and ok, so I guess it's connected wrong. Some pictures to follow...
     
  2. Here's the picture of the tach itself...

  4. And her's how the tach is hooked up to the distributor. I see some loose wire there, but I have no idea what goes where and I don't want to screw something up...

    I've read that some Sun tachs don't work with electronic ignition, but I don't know which ones. You might see if you can get some information from Williamson (works on Sun tachs).

  7. I see a yellow one there (or maybe white) that doesn't lead anywhere, but that's probably the light. But I can't see the ground in the pics - maybe there's the problem?
