I'm putting this list here because it only applies to engine swaps.
I purchased this interface when the signal from my PCM and engine harness (sourced from BMCAutos) did not have strong enough signal to drive my VDO tach .
Unfortunately the signal was only 0.054 volts which is even too low for the SGI-8 E to amplify to the level required.
This unit will work very well for many other applications and number of members on this site are already using one. You can choose 4,6 or 8 cylinder modes and it has two output levels. Cost me $85 plus shipping four weeks ago. I did get an return authorization number from the manufacturer but unfortunately I must have thrown the original picking away so I couldn't return it. Yours for $60 plus $5 shipping to anywhere in CONUS. Obviously it is as new.

Did you end up going with a Speedhut tach with custom face design?

If you are using a CS-130 alternator, the alternator has provision to drive the tach
It is our attitude that will determine the outcome
