I need to know how do i set up a tacho in my mq diesel patrol i dont know where to hook the sending wire up to

wat type of tacho are u useing ?

The sender unit is on the timing case cover. If you are looking at the engine front on it is on the lower left hand side.

hey ben why do u need a tacho if, it only rev too 4

I havent got a tacho yet looking at using an automater if possible

you running 12v or 24v ? becuase all the automater & speco all are 12v, VDO were the only 24v i could find

whats wrong with the stock tacho

it didnt come with a tacho and it is 24volt but a converter can change it to 12 volt and on the timming case where is the wire to hook it up to

everyone i looked at had a tacho, i didnt think they came with out tacho's my bad. yeah mines also 24v

i have a feeling that when this issue was previously brought up here one of the MQ gurus (kingy or screwy) reckoned there wasn't a sensor to connect it to.

do a little maths to work out what rpm you're doing at what speed in what gear, and that's all you'll ever need to know. they love 20km/h 1st, 40km/h 2nd, and 60-70km/h 3... at least mine does, it'll drive up the biggest hills at half throttle without a puff of smoke at those speeds...

First 3 years of the SD33 doesn't have a tacho, after this period they get a clock. MK onwards came out with tacho. Patchy if you've seen a MQ with one in I would be suggesting it has been retro'ed

1985 is an MQ isnt it?

so u can hook a 12v up then ??

yeh i can hook up 12v its just the sender wire i have no sender unit neither
