Default REV COUNTER

FINALLY GOT IT SORTED.
SENT MY REV COUNTER AWAY TO A COMPANY IN WEST YORKSHIRE,RE CALIBRATED IT TO RUN ON WASTED SPARK[WORKS FANTASTIC]I NEW THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING TO MY REV COUNTER .SO IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING RUNNING COILPACK CONVERSION YOU WILL NEED TO SEND YOUR REV COUNTER AWAY TO GET DONE.MOD MIGHT WORK WITH SAFFS AND ESCORT COSWORTHS BUT DEFINATLY DOES NOT WORK WITH 3DRS[LINK WIRE ON BACK OF CLOCKS]AS 3DR REV COUNTERS ARE TOTALY DIFFERENT WORKINGS.

if you've got the SECS/MSD board, then there should be a feed from ECU pin 21 that should go to the rev counter
