I have been looking around for a tach for a corvair engine. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel, so... What is everyone using?ThanksBarry________________________________________________________________________________

Barry is correct. From William Wynne's website:Subj: TachometerDate: 3/4/05What was the name & type of tach that counted flywheel teeth? Tim, Manual # 6113, East Central Ohio Reply from WW: We use a Stewart Warner tach. The one we have installed in our 601 is a 0-3,500rpmunit, which has a full sweep, allowing you to clearly see a 25rpm difference. Because it works by countingflywheel teeth, it is entirely divorced from the ignition system. The Stewart Warner part no. is 82636.If you look at our 601 Web Page, you'll see the tooth counter attached to the front alternator bracket.I've used this tach in many Corvair powered airplanes over the years. I like it because it hasvery smooth operation, and it is extremely accurate when checked against our digital optical tachometer.
