Plug in stock tach and I lose spark


Recommended Posts

hello. I have a 73 240Z that I swapped an SBC into many years ago. did the JTR swap. Its got the HEI distributor. just now getting back to it. got it running good but when I go to plug in the tach I loose spark.... I had gone through the JTR steps to use the stock tach but it was a long time ago and now I cant find the swap book. I read hear that I need a 280Z tach to swap the guts and a resistor, (15k I read). 

I'd love any thoughts on the loss of spark. will this issue go away if I do the resistor and the 280 swap? 

Is there a better way to utilize the 240z stock tach vs swapping the guts? maybe a signal interface? 

or, is there an aftermarket tach that fits nicely into the stock location?

I've never used any of these.  I do know that the Technoversion guy's business has been around for years and people seem happy with his products.  Read the instructions and you'll see that they're well-written, and he guarantees the product if you follow the instructions.

 

That's all I know.  Good luck.
