My 1966 Sunbeam Tiger was equipped with the standard 5000 RPM tach. I had it rebuilt with the Series V Alpine face and recalibrated by Nisonger Instrument in Mamaroneck, NY 10543. This (wiring) diagram was given to me by these helpful people as to wiring changes to make it work the way it is supposed to.

REPAIRING the SMITHS Electric Tachometer - ET-202D. Other people do a decent job of explaining repair of the Smiths electric tachometers, so I don't feel the need to repeat it all here, but I will give you the links to the other web pages.

Tach now runs at +2,000 to + 2,00rpm's. Is there an internal adjustment in the tach or is there a way to put a resistor in line to correct for what appears to be either an increased voltage or amperage or both ovet the old points system when the tach worked fine. it is an ome replacement which worked with the old ignition system.

After checking the wiring many times over, both leads from #2 terminal on ign switch, one to spade on the tach, the other through the induction loop on the tach then to ballast resistor and + terminal on the coil, there is still no reading on the tach. Am I missing something or is it a faulty tach? Is there a relatively easy way to bench test?

These tachometers were used in Sunbeam Tigers and Alpines as well as in Shelby Cobras and other British cars of the period. Since this is the tach Ive had the most experience with, this is the tach I will describe in detail. The Smiths tach must be disassembled in order to calibrate or repair it.

Wiring your new Autometer tachometer into your car will complete the installation. Once you have selected a mounting location, you can run the four wires that operate the tachometer. The tachometer is designed to show the engine RPMs or rotations per minute. Autometer has designed their tach to be used with four, six ...

Thanks. So maybe it IS a Nisonger conversion. Good to know. The biggest difference in their conversion of an electronic tach, besides having modern components, is that it is wired in parallel with the ignition power rather than wiring it in series with the coil power lead, where it leads to confusion like noted at the beginning of this thread. An additional plus to the new Nisonger circuit is ...
