External Module Drives Analogue Tachometer Movements ( 2020 version)
All new electronics replaces old circuit board
High quality ceramic capacitors for long life and temperature stability.
If your classic car has had electronic ignition fitted and you tacho won't play ball, this will solve the problem
Based on the LM2917 but with spiyda's own additions
Uniquely, this unit can be calibrated from a PC, Laptop, iPhone etc. using the calibration cable

This module is ideal for those with the early tachometers fitted to Volvos which have a very small plastic case, The module is fitted behind the dash and the electronics inside the tachometer bypassed. It is also suitable for non-smiths tachometers with a moving coil movement.
The board is negative earth and will convert positive earth tachometers to negative earth -
It is however possible to install on a positive earth car, read the FAQ if you have a positive earth car
