    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    What would be the impedance of the HUMVEE tach? Could I just measure the resistance between the signal + and - input points on the tach and call it close enough?

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    Yeah! When I took electronics in high school, we were learning how tubes worked! Transistors were a new thing!

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    I already have the 700R4. The vehicle is a civy suburban. I'm wanting to keep the vacuum pump for the HVAC controls as they are vacuum operated. Just trying to get a tach to work in the thing. I also have one of those ess sending units for the HJMMVEE. If you ever get yours hooked up and...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    After I posted to you the other day, I thought about the B and C points and remembered about the Base, Collector, and Emitter of the transistors and it made sense. If I wanted to hook up an oscilloscope to this circuit and see the waveforms, would I put the negative probe to ground and the...

    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    I have one of those vacuum pump/ess units in my 84 civy suburban with a 6.5 replant. It is a stock calif. vehicle. I've wanted to hook the ess to a tach but having trouble figuring out the wiring. I have seen the info from Lee Wagner. If I were you, I would go with the alternator tach setup...
