Title: FINALLY! A magneto friendly tachometer
Post by: Spud Miller on November 02, 2017, 02:01:05 PM

 We recently had a magneto customer who could NOT make a tach work on his vehicle. We tried all the tricks, all the adapters, every gadget there is and it would not give him a reliable reading. He visited a trade show recently and came across the STACK CLUBMAN tachometer which is billed to work with all ignition systems INCLUDING magnetos. It works beautifully for him! That got our attention, so we tested these in-house with a variety of mags and conditions. We eagerly became a dealer when we discovered how perfectly this tach works with all magnetos. No one has manufactured a mag friendly tach for almost 10 years.

 This isn't a "bouncy needle" kind of tachometer. The STACK CLUBMAN indicating needle is mounted on the end of a servo motor shaft for superior accuracy and positive movement. What a neat idea to use a servo motor!

 This premium quality tach features a built-in programmable shift-light activation circuit. RED panel mount or dash mount shift-lights are available for it. It is LED back lit instrument and also features a peak RPM tell-tale memory.

 This tach works with all Super-Mags, Sprintmags, Vertex mags and all MSD mags. A racing suppression core spark plug wire of 50 ohms/ft or less is recommended to be used with it. This tach uses no pickups or converters. Just connect its orange wire to the positive primary terminal of your coil or the "hot" side of your grounding kill switch and it's happy. It is configurable for any number of cylinders.

 At this time, the STACK CLUBMAN tach is available only in a panel-mount version that fits a 3-1/4" (80mm) hole. By year's end, we will be able to offer this instrument in a free-standing dash pod version.

 We just added these to our webstore and as a special FEDS.org promotion here, we will offer a discount code for 10% off one during the month of November. One per customer, forum members only! Enter discount code at checkout: TACHINTRO10

 I checked on the "pod" for these a couple of weeks ago. I was told that the black version will be available to ship to us on January 17th. No date on the chrome version yet. Also no pricing info as of yet.
