can i keep using my electronic dash? Sun, 25 April 2004 11:43 Go to next message
With my v8, obviously i need to get a tach adapter to use a supra/ celica instrument cluster. Where does all the electronics go on, with the electronic dash?
I.e if i got a tach adapter from v8 > 6, should i still be able to use the ma61 electronic dash, or will i need to buy something else to support it and convert to the electronic signal?

You can keep your existing dash, just need to divide the frequency of the signal from the coil, nothing too sinister! I take it you dont want the analogue dash any more Evil or Very Mad

The digital tacho is designed to be hooked up directly to the ignition coil; the internal electronics take care of the rest. If you use some sort of magical black box to intercept the signal from the coil on your V8 and change its frequency to that of a six cylinder, everything should work fine.
