Stack ST200 rev counter - job done. The standard one is crap, and doesn't read high enough .

Can you not do the same mod as when its a L8 mate? You solder a piece of wire on the back of the clocks and this normally works. Stu did say to me it doesnt work on all clocks though.

Sorry not got instructions with my Ryan as they are in car which is locked int he Hangar.

Is there not a late 3dr that had a coilpack maybe?? I got an RS2000 rev counter for my escort, and swapped the gubbins over - just ran a wire to one of the coilpack plug neg wires.

no i wont mate, not with the MSD/SECS driver board, thats an easy one.

3dr clocks and saphs seem to be the easiest to do the coilpack driver on, i think escorts are the bitch ones.

P8 doesnt have any solutions for the rev counter issue where as the other does.

Got it for a steal of a price too.
