Greetings all, I have a Casler 1/2 VW engine, dual ignition, utilizing a Dynatek CDI along with a Slick mag. I'm having trouble finding a tachometer to work with this set up. Per Casler, I am wired correctly to the CDI per the attached diagram in pink. I've tried a Swift brand tach as well as a Samdo brand tach and connected the tax signal lead to the CDI per diagram, but getting no tack reading. I also connected the tach signal lead to the P lead on the Slick mag per recommendation from Scott Casler. Neither set up works. Apparently I need some type of adapter or interface. Please forward any recommendations. Thanks for your input.
