I am curious as to what you hook the cable to on the engine to drive the tach??
I'll keep you updated if we can work the trip out. That would be pretty darn cool!

It is an adapter that replaces the oil fill tube on the front gear housing cover. Inside it is a drive that goes over the injection pump nut. The other end has a drive shaft and a mini gear box fits on the end of it. Then the cable hooks on the other end of the gear box. I'll take a pic of it today for ya.
