Hi all .. I have seen a few people asking about how to connect a tacho to their diesel, so I thought I'd share my experiences after doing a TD42 diesel conversion on my GQ.
The tacho pickup on my new engine is at the front of the engine. Im assuming its a magnetic pickup - not 100% sure yet. Some other variants have a pickup from the alternator (W-terminal) which is just a tap into one of the three phases.
I found following product online for around $70+postage. Also available on ebay. It can convert either of the above, and output to a standard ignition type Tacho.
