tachometer

[ned2683]

okay i have post many many topics here so far,. surprized at how many knowledgable people there are here. great forum!!anyways i ask about the alda on previous post and does look tempting. but i heard 1 in 10 would go bad. so i think i will wait till i have a spare on me before i do that. and one more questions my alda thing does not have a black top to chop up. the knub up there is just metal.. like 1 casted piece.. is that weird?

anyways now to this question. i think my tach is bad. i am not talking about bad connections or anything. the tach is self is bad.. so i was thinkning of an aftermarket tach. now if i buy one of those can i splice the wires that goes into the .. uhh. black screwy thing on the drivers side (i have no idea what these parts are) has anybody try this yet? i am in the process of resotring this 1979 300sd.. every thing but the engine is bad.. fortunately the engine is running strong!!! MB rules!!!
