Needed for GQ Patrol

[GQPorkroll]

Sorry if I'm in the wrong bit but I can't see it on my ipad.

Recently I had a crane cams ignition system fitted to my 88 GQ 4.2 petrol/gas.

The mechanic wired my tacho up to the negative wire on the coil before I called him to tell him it is wired through the brain box.

While the car is in the auto elecs I asked him to wire the tacho correctly and he's told me its stuffed.

I'd say the new system has fried it. I also noticed the temp gauge went right off the charts and the motor was still able to be touched, so it looks like my dash is damaged,

I'm chasing a full instrument dash for the above truck if anyone can help me. I've tried eBay with no luck. Only interested in a full instrument dash, must have oil pressure and volts.

If you have one that's fully functional, and are willing to post, please contact me here.

Shame its not a TD4.2 cluster, I know of one going in Sydney

You may not need a instrument cluster mate.....

Patrol Tachos have an issue interfacing with Crane ignition boxes either via the coil or the box itself due to the extended dwell angel generated by the multispark "BUT" this can be rectified by replacing the inline resistor with one of a higher value.

Hooking it up directly to the Neg side of the coil after fitting the Crane ign box wouldn't have fried it so I don't think your tachos shite itself rather its unable to pickup a signal.
I am running one in my Rig (GQTB42s) so I will check tomorrow & provide you with what you'll need if you like.

Awesome, thanks for that. It had an early crane cams system in and was working fine, but now I have the new bigger better system. Yeah that would be great if you could do that, I would like my tacho working again.

Can you tell me what system was fitted as it will change the values a bit.
